Communal fire doors in Aston: how we work
Getting communal fire doors right in Aston 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.
Aston is about 1 mile from Birmingham. Wherever your building is in B6, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Fire door rules in Aston
Because Aston is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
