Fire door closers in Warwickshire

Getting fire door closers right in Warwickshire

We provide fire door closers across Warwickshire, covering 7 towns and 22 postcode districts, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa.

We set closers in Warwickshire buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Warwickshire fire doors.

Fire door work in Warwickshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.

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 Warwickshire

England's framework applies in Warwickshire. 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 Warwickshire, 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.
