Certified communal fire doors for Portsmouth
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Portsmouth, we provide communal corridor and lobby fire doors with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Whether your building is in central Portsmouth or on its edges towards Gosport, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
What the law says in Portsmouth
Fire doors in Portsmouth 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.
