Fire door closers in Peterborough, done to the evidence
Looking for fire door closers in Peterborough? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Peterborough and the wider Cambridgeshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Peterborough protect escape routes in converted period houses, industrial units and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We set closers in Peterborough buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Peterborough 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
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
Which fire door rules apply in Peterborough?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Peterborough
From blocks of flats to offices, the requirement for fire door closers in Peterborough 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.

Questions from Peterborough
Is Peterborough within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Peterborough in Cambridgeshire and neighbouring towns such as Stamford. 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.
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.
