Fire exit doors: our service in Sale
Looking for fire exit doors in Sale? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Sale and the wider Greater Manchester area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Sale range from industrial estates to high-street shops and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Sale each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Sale, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
The regulations behind fire doors in Sale
In Sale, 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 Sale 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.

Do you cover M33 and nearby postcodes?

Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Sale 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.
