Fire door closers: our service in Cleethorpes
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cleethorpes, we offer fire door closers with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Cleethorpes has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Cleethorpes fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Cleethorpes care homes and supported living.
Setting a closer properly
Closers have adjustments for closing speed, latching action and often backcheck. We set them so the door closes from any angle and engages the latch, without slamming. In England, Approved Document M guidance on opening force, no more than 30N for the first 30 degrees and 22.5N from 30 to 60 degrees at the leading edge, is a useful benchmark for usability. Our closers guide has more detail.
What you get:
- Record of model and settings
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Close-and-latch test from full open
Fire door law for Cleethorpes properties
England's framework applies in Cleethorpes. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Cleethorpes, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

In Cleethorpes, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Cleethorpes
Do you work in Cleethorpes?
Yes, we take on fire door closers in Cleethorpes and the surrounding area, including Grimsby and Kingston upon Hull. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
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.
