Fire door closers: our service in Bentley
Our fire door closers service in Bentley is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Bentley, fire door work covers everything from small offices to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Bentley fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Bentley 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:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Close-and-latch test from full open
Fire door law for Bentley properties
England's framework applies in Bentley. 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 Bentley, 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.

Questions
Is Bentley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bentley in South Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Doncaster. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Bentley?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
