Flat entrance fire doors in Peterborough, done to the evidence
When you book flat entrance fire doors in Peterborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Peterborough, care homes, schools and converted period houses 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.
Flat entrance door programmes in Peterborough are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Peterborough, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
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.
What you get:
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Self-closer set to close and latch
Fire door law for Peterborough properties
In Peterborough, 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 Peterborough 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.

Questions
Do you cover PE1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Peterborough including PE1, and nearby towns such as Stamford and March. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Peterborough building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Who is responsible for replacing flat front doors?
It depends on the lease. Sometimes the leaseholder owns the door, sometimes the freeholder does. Either way, the replacement has to meet the building's fire strategy, so we can work with whoever commissions it.
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.
