Flat entrance fire doors in Wellington

Flat entrance fire doors for Wellington buildings

Our flat entrance fire doors service in Wellington is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Buildings in and around Wellington range from light industrial buildings to schools and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

In a block of flats in Wellington, 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 Wellington, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Self-closer set to close and latch

The regulations behind fire doors in Wellington

The rules that apply to fire doors in Wellington are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Wellington 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.

Which buildings in Wellington need flat entrance fire doors?

Typical settings for flat entrance fire doors include converted houses split into flats, flats above shops and sheltered housing. In Wellington, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
