Flat entrance fire doors in Winsford, CW7

Flat entrance fire doors for Winsford buildings

Our flat entrance fire doors service covers Winsford and the wider Cheshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Winsford, small offices, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings 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 Winsford 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 Winsford, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

What goes into a compliant flat entrance doorset?

We fit certified FD30S doorsets with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that closes and latches the door from any angle, fire-tested hinges and a lock or latch covered by the certification. Door viewers, spy holes, letterplates, numerals and security hardware can only be fitted if they are part of the doorset's evidence. Where residents want a letterplate, we use one that is covered by the test evidence or recommend a separate post box.

Each installation includes:

• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
• Self-closer set to close and latch

Fire door law for Winsford properties

The rules that apply to fire doors in Winsford 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 Winsford 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.

The need for flat entrance fire doors usually arises in sheltered housing or converted houses split into flats, and sometimes flats above shops.
