Flat entrance fire doors in Bordon, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bordon, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Bordon, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Flat entrance door programmes in Bordon 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 Bordon, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
Why flat front doors matter so much
In most blocks the fire strategy relies on each flat containing a fire for long enough that other residents can stay put or leave safely. The flat entrance door is the barrier that makes that work. A door without a working closer, with a missing seal or with a non-fire-rated letterplate can let smoke into the corridor within minutes.
In England, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 asks responsible persons in residential buildings above 11 metres to use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors at least every 12 months. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; our guide to the regulations for flats sets them out.
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
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
What the rules say for Bordon
Fire doors in Bordon fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Bordon above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Buildings and duty holders in Bordon
The need for flat entrance fire doors usually arises in converted houses split into flats or flats above shops, and sometimes purpose-built blocks of flats. 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 Bordon to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Common questions
Do you work in Bordon?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Bordon and the surrounding area, including Farnham and Aldershot. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
