Fire door closer installation in Gloucestershire

Getting fire door closers right in Gloucestershire

For fire door closers anywhere in Gloucestershire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and the rest of the county.

We set closers in Gloucestershire buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Gloucestershire care homes and supported living.

Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Gloucestershire 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.

What the rules say for Gloucestershire

Fire doors in Gloucestershire fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Gloucestershire above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
