What flat entrance fire doors in Yeadon should include
Our flat entrance fire doors service in Yeadon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Yeadon, light industrial buildings, care homes and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Yeadon, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. In a block of flats in Yeadon, 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.
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.
What you get:
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
Fire door law for Yeadon properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Yeadon 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 Yeadon 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 Yeadon need flat entrance fire doors?
The need for flat entrance fire doors usually arises in converted houses split into flats or purpose-built blocks of flats, and sometimes sheltered housing. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Yeadon to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions from Yeadon
Do you cover LS19 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Yeadon including LS19, and nearby towns such as Guiseley and Shipley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Yeadon 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.
Can a flat door have a letterbox?
Only if the letterplate is covered by the doorset's test evidence. A standard letterplate cut into a fire door breaks the rating. Many managing agents choose external post boxes instead.
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.
