Fire exit doors across Oxfordshire

Fire exit doors in Oxfordshire: what's involved

We provide fire exit doors across Oxfordshire, covering 6 towns and 30 postcode districts, including Oxford, Banbury and Abingdon.

Before quoting for an exit door in Oxfordshire, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Oxfordshire can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.

Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Oxfordshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.

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.

The regulations behind fire doors in Oxfordshire

Fire doors in Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire 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.
