Double fire doors in Reading: questions
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Reading?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Can you fit just one door in Reading?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Berkshire.
Which rules do double fire doors in Reading need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Why does my double fire door not close properly?
Usually the door selector is missing or out of adjustment, or the leaves have dropped. Pairs need the inactive leaf to close first.
