Double fire doors: our service in Lincolnshire
Our double fire doors service runs throughout Lincolnshire. Main towns include Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Lincolnshire care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Lincolnshire take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
Lincolnshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
Which fire door rules apply in Lincolnshire?
In Lincolnshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Lincolnshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Double fire doors questions
Do you provide double fire doors across Lincolnshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln and Grimsby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
