What fire exit doors in Great Malvern should include
When you book fire exit doors in Great Malvern, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Great Malvern range from small offices to care homes and houses with integral garages. 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 Great Malvern each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Great Malvern 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.
What you get:
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Commissioning and handover
Fire door law for Great Malvern properties
In Great Malvern, 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 Great Malvern 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.

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.
