What fire exit doors in Nuneaton should include
We provide fire exit doors in Nuneaton (CV11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Nuneaton protect escape routes in HMOs, industrial estates and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Nuneaton each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Nuneaton, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
Panic bars or emergency hardware?
Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.
What you get:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Commissioning and handover
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Weather and threshold detailing
What the rules say for Nuneaton
In Nuneaton, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Nuneaton building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs fire exit doors in Nuneaton?
From warehouses to schools, the requirement for fire exit doors in Nuneaton comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Nuneaton
Do you cover CV11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Nuneaton including CV11, and nearby towns such as Bedworth and Hinckley. 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.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
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.
