What fire door closers in Droitwich should include
Our fire door closers service in Droitwich is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Droitwich range from care homes to light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Droitwich fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Droitwich 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:
- Record of model and settings
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
Fire door law for Droitwich properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Droitwich 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 Droitwich 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 Droitwich
From care homes to HMOs, the requirement for fire door closers in Droitwich 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
Do you cover WR9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Droitwich including WR9, and nearby towns such as Bromsgrove and Worcester. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Droitwich building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
