In and around Ormskirk, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Flat entrance door programmes in Ormskirk 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 Ormskirk, 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.

What you get:

• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
