What fire door closers in High Wycombe should include
Our fire door closers service covers High Wycombe and the wider Buckinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around High Wycombe range from schools to care homes and industrial units. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We set closers in High Wycombe buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for High Wycombe care homes and supported living.
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.
What you get:
- Record of model and settings
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
Fire door law for High Wycombe properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in High Wycombe 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 High Wycombe 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.
