Fire door ironmongery for Evesham buildings
Our fire door ironmongery service in Evesham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Evesham, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Evesham we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Evesham buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
Each installation includes:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Rules and responsibilities in Evesham
In Evesham, 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 Evesham 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 cover WR11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Evesham including WR11, and nearby towns such as Tewkesbury and Stratford-upon-Avon. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Evesham?
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.
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.
Do fire doors need signs?
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.
