Flat entrance fire doors in Crowborough, TN6

Flat entrance fire doors in Crowborough, done to the evidence

We provide flat entrance fire doors in Crowborough (TN6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Buildings in and around Crowborough range from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

In a block of flats in Crowborough, 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. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Crowborough, 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.

Each installation includes:

• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification

Fire door law for Crowborough properties

England's framework applies in Crowborough. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Crowborough, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Which buildings in Crowborough need flat entrance fire doors?

The need for flat entrance fire doors usually arises in sheltered housing or converted houses split into flats, and sometimes flats above shops. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Crowborough to keep escape routes protected throughout.
