Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Andover
When you book flat entrance fire doors in Andover, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Andover range from small blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Flat entrance door programmes in Andover 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 Andover, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
Rules and responsibilities in Andover
In Andover, 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 Andover 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 SP10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Andover including SP10, and nearby towns such as Winchester and Newbury. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Andover?
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.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
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.
