Fire exit doors in Farnborough, done to the evidence
We provide fire exit doors in Farnborough (GU14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Farnborough range from schools to houses with integral garages and HMOs. 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 Farnborough, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Farnborough 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:
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
Which fire door rules apply in Farnborough?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Farnborough are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Farnborough block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Who needs fire exit doors in Farnborough?

In Farnborough, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Is Farnborough within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Farnborough in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Camberley. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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 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.
