In a block of flats in Jarrow, 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 Jarrow are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.

Why flat front doors matter so much

In most blocks the fire strategy relies on each flat containing a fire for long enough that other residents can stay put or leave safely. The flat entrance door is the barrier that makes that work. A door without a working closer, with a missing seal or with a non-fire-rated letterplate can let smoke into the corridor within minutes.

In England, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 asks responsible persons in residential buildings above 11 metres to use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors at least every 12 months. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; our guide to the regulations for flats sets them out.

On a typical job that means:

• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
