Double fire doors in Christchurch: questions

Which rules do double fire doors in Christchurch 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.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Christchurch?

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.

How quickly can you survey in Christchurch?

We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Christchurch visits with other work in Dorset. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.

Do pairs cost much more than singles?

Roughly 1.7 to 2 times a single doorset, depending on hardware.
