Fire door closers for Pudsey buildings
Our fire door closers service covers Pudsey and the wider West Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Pudsey, fire door work covers everything from small offices to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Free-swing closers are a practical option for Pudsey care homes and supported living. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Pudsey fire doors.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Record of model and settings
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
Fire door law for Pudsey properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Pudsey are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Pudsey block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Where fire door closers fit in Pudsey
From offices to HMOs, the requirement for fire door closers in Pudsey comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Pudsey
Do you cover LS28 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Pudsey including LS28, and nearby towns such as Bradford and Morley. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Pudsey?
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.
Why won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
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.
