Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Fleet
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Fleet, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Fleet range from small offices to small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings. 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 Fleet, 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. Flat entrance door programmes in Fleet are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.
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:
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
What the rules say for Fleet
Fire doors in Fleet 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 Fleet 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.

Questions from Fleet
Do you work in Fleet?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Fleet and the surrounding area, including Farnborough 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.
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 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.
