Communal fire doors in Swanley: how we work
Getting communal fire doors right in Swanley 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.
Swanley is about 17 miles from Maidstone. Wherever your building is in BR8, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Which rules apply in Swanley?
In Swanley, 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.
