Communal fire doors in Bristol

Communal & Corridor Fire Doors for Bristol buildings

We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Bristol and the rest of Bristol. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.

Which rules apply in Bristol?

Fire doors in Bristol sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

Common questions in Bristol

Can you fit just one door in Bristol?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Bristol.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Bristol?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Do you cover Bristol?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit communal fire doors throughout Bristol and the rest of Bristol, including BS1 and nearby Kingswood.

Should communal doors be glazed?

Doors across corridors usually need vision panels so people can see who is on the other side. The glass must be tested in that doorset.
