Double fire doors for Clevedon buildings
Our double fire doors service in Clevedon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Clevedon protect escape routes in care homes, houses with integral garages and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Clevedon is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Clevedon 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Rules and responsibilities in Clevedon
In Clevedon, 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 Clevedon 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.

From communal corridors to care homes, the requirement for double fire doors in Clevedon 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.

Common questions
Is Clevedon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Clevedon in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Nailsea. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Clevedon building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
