Double fire doors in Norwich

Double fire doors in Norwich: what's involved

Looking for double fire doors in Norwich? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Norwich and the wider Norfolk area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

In and around Norwich, fire door work covers everything from offices to GP surgeries. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Every pair we fit in Norwich is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Norwich care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Commissioning of closing sequence

Fire door law for Norwich properties

In Norwich, 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 Norwich 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.

Buildings and duty holders in Norwich

Typical settings for double fire doors include communal corridors, hospitals and clinics and schools. In Norwich, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
