Getting fire door closers right in Worcestershire
Whether your building is in Worcester, Redditch or a smaller place in Worcestershire, we can provide fire door closers with the same evidence-led approach.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Worcestershire fire doors. We set closers in Worcestershire buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Worcestershire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Worcestershire
In Worcestershire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Worcestershire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
