The regulations behind fire doors in Maidenhead
The rules that apply to fire doors in Maidenhead 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 Maidenhead 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.

Is Maidenhead within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Maidenhead in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Slough. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Maidenhead?
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.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.

Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
