Fire door ironmongery: our service in Clevedon
From the BS21 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Clevedon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Clevedon has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, schools and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We supply ironmongery for Clevedon fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Clevedon buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

Each installation includes:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Clevedon
In Clevedon, 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 Clevedon 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Clevedon?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Clevedon and the surrounding area, including Nailsea and Portishead. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
