Fire doors for homes in Cowes: how we work
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Cowes, we provide fire doors for loft conversions, garages and family homes 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 Cowes or on its edges towards Newport, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Fire door rules in Cowes
Because Cowes 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.
