Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Norfolk
For flat entrance fire doors anywhere in Norfolk, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn and the rest of the county.
Flat entrance door programmes in Norfolk 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 Norfolk, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Norfolk can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Norfolk
In Norfolk, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Norfolk building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
