Flat entrance fire doors: our service in North Yorkshire
For flat entrance fire doors anywhere in North Yorkshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering York, Middlesbrough, Harrogate and the rest of the county.
In a block of flats in North Yorkshire, 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. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in North Yorkshire, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in North Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every 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.
Which fire door rules apply in North Yorkshire?
England's framework applies in North Yorkshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in North Yorkshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Do you provide flat entrance fire doors across North Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of North Yorkshire, including York and Middlesbrough. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Who is responsible for replacing flat front doors?
It depends on the lease. Sometimes the leaseholder owns the door, sometimes the freeholder does. Either way, the replacement has to meet the building's fire strategy, so we can work with whoever commissions it.
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.
