Regulations for communal fire doors in Leicestershire
In Hinckley, 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.

Communal fire doors in Hinckley: questions
Can you work around tenants or staff in Hinckley?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Can you fit just one door in Hinckley?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Leicestershire.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Hinckley?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
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.
