Double fire doors in Rotherham

Double fire doors in Rotherham, done to the evidence

Our double fire doors service covers Rotherham and the wider South Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Fire doors in Rotherham protect escape routes in offices, schools and purpose-built flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Rotherham care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Rotherham take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

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

The regulations behind fire doors in Rotherham

Fire doors in Rotherham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Rotherham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
