Fire exit doors: our service in Chippenham

Looking for fire exit doors in Chippenham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Chippenham and the wider Wiltshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Chippenham range from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Exit doors in Chippenham can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Chippenham each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Outside access devices and alarmed options
• Weather and threshold detailing
• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
