Flat entrance fire doors in Wednesfield

Flat entrance fire doors in Wednesfield, done to the evidence

Our flat entrance fire doors service covers Wednesfield and the wider West Midlands area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

In and around Wednesfield, 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.

In a block of flats in Wednesfield, 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 Wednesfield, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

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:

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

What the rules say for Wednesfield

England's framework applies in Wednesfield. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
