Double fire doors for Speke buildings
Looking for double fire doors in Speke? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Speke and the wider Merseyside area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Speke, small blocks of flats, schools and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Every pair we fit in Speke is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Speke care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Hold-opens and escape
Pairs on corridors are often held open in daily use, with hold-open devices releasing both leaves when the alarm sounds. Where a pair is on an escape route used by the public, the escape hardware and the direction of opening also need to suit the fire strategy.
What you get:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Rules and responsibilities in Speke
England's framework applies in Speke. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Speke, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Speke need double fire doors?
From office cores to communal corridors, the requirement for double fire doors in Speke comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Speke
Do you cover L24 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Speke including L24, and nearby towns such as Halewood and Garston. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
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.
