Fire exit doors for Stroud buildings
If you need fire exit doors in Stroud, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Stroud range from care homes to high-street shops and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Exit doors in Stroud can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Stroud each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.
Panic bars or emergency hardware?
Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.
What you get:
- Commissioning and handover
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
What the rules say for Stroud
England's framework applies in Stroud. 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 Stroud, 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.

Questions from Stroud
Do you work in Stroud?
Yes, we take on fire exit doors in Stroud and the surrounding area, including Gloucester and Cirencester. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stroud 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.
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.
