Fire exit doors: our service in Bromsgrove
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bromsgrove, we offer fire exit doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Bromsgrove, fire door work covers everything from small offices to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Bromsgrove each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Bromsgrove can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
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:
- Commissioning and handover
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
Which fire door rules apply in Bromsgrove?
In Bromsgrove, 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 Bromsgrove 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.
Where fire exit doors fit in Bromsgrove

Questions from Bromsgrove

What happens on a survey in Bromsgrove?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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 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.
