Double fire doors: our service in Stourport-on-Severn
Our double fire doors service in Stourport-on-Severn is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Stourport-on-Severn has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Stourport-on-Severn is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Stourport-on-Severn care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
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:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Which fire door rules apply in Stourport-on-Severn?
In Stourport-on-Severn, 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 Stourport-on-Severn 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
Is Stourport-on-Severn within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stourport-on-Severn in Worcestershire and neighbouring towns such as Kidderminster. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
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.
