Fire door ironmongery for Swindon buildings
Looking for fire door ironmongery in Swindon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Swindon and the wider Wiltshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Swindon protect escape routes in shared houses, care homes and student accommodation alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Signage for fire doors in Swindon buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Swindon we replace them with hardware covered by each door's 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.
What you get:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Rules and responsibilities in Swindon
In Swindon, 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 Swindon 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.
Which buildings in Swindon need fire door ironmongery?
Typical settings for fire door ironmongery include offices, blocks of flats and HMOs. In Swindon, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
