Fire exit doors for Burntwood buildings
Looking for fire exit doors in Burntwood? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Burntwood and the wider Staffordshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Burntwood range from small offices to houses with integral garages and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Burntwood each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Burntwood, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Commissioning and handover
Fire door law for Burntwood properties
England's framework applies in Burntwood. 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 Burntwood, 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 Burntwood
Do you cover WS7 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Burntwood including WS7, and nearby towns such as Lichfield and Cannock. 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.
Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
