Fire door closers for Poole buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Poole, we offer fire door closers with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Poole range from offices to HMOs and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Poole fire doors. We set closers in Poole buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
The most common fire door fault
A fire door that does not close is not doing its job. Closers fail because they are under-powered, out of adjustment, damaged, leaking or disconnected by people who find the door too heavy. Often the fix is a correctly sized closer, set up properly, rather than a new door.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Record of model and settings
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
Which fire door rules apply in Poole?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Poole 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 Poole 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.
Where fire door closers fit in Poole
From HMOs to schools, the requirement for fire door closers in Poole 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 Poole
Do you cover BH15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Poole including BH15, and nearby towns such as Bournemouth and Christchurch. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Poole 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 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.
What is a free-swing closer?
A closer that lets the door swing freely in normal use and closes it when the fire alarm operates. It suits care settings and people who find doors heavy.
