Fire exit doors in Haverhill, done to the evidence
When you book fire exit doors in Haverhill, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Haverhill, small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages 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.
Before quoting for an exit door in Haverhill, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Haverhill 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.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Commissioning and handover
What the rules say for Haverhill
England's framework applies in Haverhill. 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 Haverhill, 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
Do you work in Haverhill?

How quickly can you survey in Haverhill?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
