What fire exit doors in Wokingham should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wokingham, we offer fire exit doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Wokingham protect escape routes in small offices, schools and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Wokingham each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Wokingham, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
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.
What you get:
- 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
Which fire door rules apply in Wokingham?
England's framework applies in Wokingham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Wokingham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Is Wokingham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wokingham in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Crowthorne. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wokingham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do fire exit doors need closers?
Final exit doors often have closers for security and weather reasons. If the exit door is also a fire door, a closer is normally required to keep it shut.
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.
