Fire exit doors in Fleetwood

Fire exit doors in Fleetwood, done to the evidence

If you need fire exit doors in Fleetwood, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Around Fleetwood, family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and schools 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.

Shops, warehouses and schools in Fleetwood each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Fleetwood can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.

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.

Each installation includes:

• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
• Commissioning and handover
• Weather and threshold detailing
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required

Fire door law for Fleetwood properties

The rules that apply to fire doors in Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood 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.
