As standard, the work covers:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
What the rules say for Burton upon Trent
In Burton upon Trent, 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 Burton upon Trent 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.
