Getting fire door closers right in Buckinghamshire
Our fire door closers service runs throughout Buckinghamshire. Main towns include Milton Keynes, High Wycombe and Aylesbury, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We set closers in Buckinghamshire buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Buckinghamshire care homes and supported living.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Buckinghamshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Overhead, concealed or free-swing
Overhead closers are the most common and easiest to maintain. Concealed closers keep a clean look and deter tampering, if covered by the door's evidence. Free-swing closers let a door move freely in everyday use and close when the fire alarm sounds, which is useful in care homes and for people who find doors hard to open.
Fire door law for Buckinghamshire properties
In Buckinghamshire, 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 Buckinghamshire 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.

Fire door closers questions
Do you provide fire door closers across Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We cover all of Buckinghamshire, including Milton Keynes and High Wycombe. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Why won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
Do all fire doors need closers?
Most do. Exceptions include some doors kept locked shut and some doors within houses, depending on the fire strategy.
