Rules and responsibilities in Fareham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Fareham 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 Fareham 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 Fareham
Is Fareham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Fareham in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Gosport. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Fareham?
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.
Do loft conversion fire doors need closers?
Not usually within a single-family house in England. In Scotland, doors onto the protected stair enclosure are expected to be self-closing. Wales and Northern Ireland have their own guidance, and your building control body may ask for something different in particular layouts.
Can you match my existing doors?
Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
