Fire exit doors in Liverpool, done to the evidence
From the L3 postcode district outwards, we take on fire exit doors across Liverpool for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Liverpool, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to purpose-built blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Before quoting for an exit door in Liverpool, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Liverpool 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Weather and threshold detailing
Which fire door rules apply in Liverpool?
Fire doors in Liverpool fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Liverpool above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you cover L3 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Liverpool including L3, and nearby towns such as Birkenhead and Wallasey. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
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.
