Fire exit doors for Old Trafford buildings
When you book fire exit doors in Old Trafford, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Old Trafford, light industrial buildings, schools and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Before quoting for an exit door in Old Trafford, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Old Trafford can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
Security without blocking escape
Exit doors need to keep intruders out while letting people out in seconds. We can fit outside access devices, alarmed hardware and access control interfaces that do not stop the door being opened from inside. Any of these on a fire-rated exit door must be covered by its evidence.
What you get:
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
What the rules say for Old Trafford
In Old Trafford, 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 Old Trafford 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.
Which buildings in Old Trafford need fire exit doors?
From warehouses to schools, the requirement for fire exit doors in Old Trafford comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Old Trafford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Old Trafford in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Stretford. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Old Trafford 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.
Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
