In a block of flats in Stourport-on-Severn, 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. Flat entrance door programmes in Stourport-on-Severn are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.
Why flat front doors matter so much
In most blocks the fire strategy relies on each flat containing a fire for long enough that other residents can stay put or leave safely. The flat entrance door is the barrier that makes that work. A door without a working closer, with a missing seal or with a non-fire-rated letterplate can let smoke into the corridor within minutes.
In England, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 asks responsible persons in residential buildings above 11 metres to use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors at least every 12 months. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; our guide to the regulations for flats sets them out.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification

Common questions
Do you work in Stourport-on-Severn?

Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
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.
