Fire door ironmongery in Burgess Hill, done to the evidence
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Burgess Hill and the wider West Sussex area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Burgess Hill, houses with integral garages, care homes and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Burgess Hill we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Burgess Hill fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Fire door law for Burgess Hill properties
In Burgess Hill, 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 Burgess Hill 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.

Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.

Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
