Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Acocks Green
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Acocks Green, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Acocks Green protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In a block of flats in Acocks Green, 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 Acocks Green, 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.
What you get:
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
What the rules say for Acocks Green
The rules that apply to fire doors in Acocks Green 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 Acocks Green 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Acocks Green?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Acocks Green and the surrounding area, including Shirley and Solihull. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Acocks Green building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
