What flat entrance fire doors in Crowthorne should include
When you book flat entrance fire doors in Crowthorne, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Crowthorne, care homes, small offices and schools 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.
In a block of flats in Crowthorne, each flat's front door is what keeps smoke out of the shared corridor, which is why a working closer matters as much as the door. Flat entrance door programmes in Crowthorne are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.
Who pays and who decides?
Flat entrance doors often sit on the boundary between the leaseholder's flat and the freeholder's building. Ownership depends on the lease, and leaseholder consent, landlord consent and Section 20 consultation can all come into it. We work with freeholders, managing agents, housing providers and individual leaseholders, and our responsibility guide covers the common questions.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
Fire door law for Crowthorne properties
In Crowthorne, 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 Crowthorne 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.

Common questions
Is Crowthorne within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Crowthorne in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Sandhurst. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Crowthorne?
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.
Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
Can a flat door have a letterbox?
Only if the letterplate is covered by the doorset's test evidence. A standard letterplate cut into a fire door breaks the rating. Many managing agents choose external post boxes instead.
