Double fire doors in Burntwood, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Burntwood, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Burntwood has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Burntwood is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Burntwood 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.
Each installation includes:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Burntwood
In Burntwood, 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 Burntwood 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.

Questions
Do you cover WS7 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Burntwood including WS7, and nearby towns such as Lichfield and Cannock. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Burntwood 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.
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.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
