Double fire doors for Bognor Regis buildings
From the PO21 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Bognor Regis for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Bognor Regis protect escape routes in HMOs, houses with integral garages and high-street shops alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Bognor Regis take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Bognor Regis is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
As standard, the work covers:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
What the rules say for Bognor Regis
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bognor Regis are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Bognor Regis block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Is Bognor Regis within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bognor Regis in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Chichester. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bognor Regis 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.
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.
