Flat entrance fire doors in Salisbury, done to the evidence
Our flat entrance fire doors service in Salisbury is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Salisbury protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Salisbury, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. In a block of flats in Salisbury, 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.
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
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
The regulations behind fire doors in Salisbury
The rules that apply to fire doors in Salisbury 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 Salisbury 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 cover SP1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Salisbury including SP1, and nearby towns such as Andover and Totton. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
