Double fire doors for Stratford-upon-Avon buildings
From the CV37 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Stratford-upon-Avon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Stratford-upon-Avon, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Every pair we fit in Stratford-upon-Avon is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Stratford-upon-Avon 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:
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Which fire door rules apply in Stratford-upon-Avon?
England's framework applies in Stratford-upon-Avon. 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 Stratford-upon-Avon, 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 Stratford-upon-Avon need double fire doors?
From care homes to office cores, the requirement for double fire doors in Stratford-upon-Avon 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
Do you cover CV37 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stratford-upon-Avon including CV37, and nearby towns such as Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa. 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.
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.
