Flat entrance fire doors in Bartley Green: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bartley Green, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Bartley Green protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Flat entrance door programmes in Bartley Green 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 Bartley 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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
What the rules say for Bartley Green
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bartley 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 Bartley 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.

Questions from Bartley Green
Do you cover B32 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bartley Green including B32, and nearby towns such as Halesowen and Smethwick. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Bartley Green?
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.
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.
