Flat entrance fire doors in Rugby: what's involved
If you need flat entrance fire doors in Rugby, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Rugby, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Flat entrance door programmes in Rugby 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 Rugby, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
Fire door law for Rugby properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Rugby 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 Rugby 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 Rugby need flat entrance fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Rugby can all commission flat entrance fire doors from us. The usual settings are purpose-built blocks of flats and flats above shops, though single doors for sheltered housing are just as welcome.

Common questions
Do you work in Rugby?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Rugby and the surrounding area, including Daventry and Coventry. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Rugby?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
