Fire exit doors in Slough, done to the evidence
Looking for fire exit doors in Slough? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Slough and the wider Berkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Slough range from industrial units to schools and purpose-built flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Before quoting for an exit door in Slough, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Slough can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
Is every fire exit door a fire door?
Not necessarily. A final exit door leading straight outside often does not need fire resistance, but it must open easily in the direction of escape and be secure the rest of the time. If the exit door also sits in a wall that the fire strategy requires to resist fire, it needs to be a certified fire doorset as well. We check which applies before quoting, so you do not pay for fire resistance you do not need, or miss it where you do.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
The regulations behind fire doors in Slough
In Slough, 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 Slough 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.

It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
Do fire exit doors have to open outwards?
Exit doors generally open in the direction of escape, especially where many people use them. Your fire strategy or risk assessment sets the requirement for each door.
