Flat entrance fire doors in Wokingham

Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Wokingham

Our flat entrance fire doors service in Wokingham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Fire doors in Wokingham protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Wokingham, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. In a block of flats in Wokingham, 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.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence

Which fire door rules apply in Wokingham?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Wokingham are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Wokingham block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
