Flat entrance fire doors in Halewood

Flat entrance fire doors in Halewood: what's involved

If you need flat entrance fire doors in Halewood, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Halewood protect escape routes in care homes, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Halewood, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. In a block of flats in Halewood, 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.

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:

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

Fire door law for Halewood properties

The rules that apply to fire doors in Halewood are England's.

Where a Halewood block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
