Flat entrance fire doors in Farnham

Flat entrance fire doors for Farnham buildings

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Farnham, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Farnham range from schools to small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions. 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 Farnham, 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. Flat entrance door programmes in Farnham are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence

What the rules say for Farnham

In Farnham, 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 Farnham 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.
