Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Fleetwood
Our flat entrance fire doors service covers Fleetwood and the wider Lancashire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Fleetwood protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Flat entrance door programmes in Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood, 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.
What you get:
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Self-closer set to close and latch
What the rules say for Fleetwood
Fire doors in Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood 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.
Which buildings in Fleetwood need flat entrance fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Fleetwood can all commission flat entrance fire doors from us. The usual settings are converted houses split into flats and sheltered housing, though single doors for purpose-built blocks of flats are just as welcome.

Questions
Do you work in Fleetwood?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Fleetwood and the surrounding area, including Thornton-Cleveleys and Blackpool. 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.
