Fire door closers across Nottinghamshire

Fire door closers in Nottinghamshire: what's involved

Our fire door closers service runs throughout Nottinghamshire. Main towns include Nottingham, Mansfield and Worksop, and we cover the smaller places in between.

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

Nottinghamshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.

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.

The regulations behind fire doors in Nottinghamshire

Fire doors in Nottinghamshire 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 Nottinghamshire 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.
