What the law says in Newton Abbot
In Newton Abbot, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.

Questions about communal fire doors in Newton Abbot
Which rules do communal fire doors in Newton Abbot need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you fit just one door in Newton Abbot?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Devon.
Is the survey in Newton Abbot free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
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.
