Communal fire doors in Seaford

Our Seaford supply and fit service

Getting communal fire doors right in Seaford means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.

Whether your building is in central Seaford or on its edges towards Rottingdean, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.

Which rules apply in Seaford?

In Seaford, 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.
