Fire exit doors for Boston buildings
Our fire exit doors service in Boston is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Boston protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Boston each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Boston, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Commissioning and handover
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
Which fire door rules apply in Boston?
England's framework applies in Boston. 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 Boston, 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 Boston
Do you cover PE21 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Boston including PE21, and nearby towns such as Spalding and Skegness. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Boston?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
