Fire door closers and ironmongery in Canterbury: how we work
We cover Canterbury and nearby Whitstable for fire door closers and ironmongery, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Whether your building is in central Canterbury or on its edges towards Whitstable, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Regulations for fire door closers and ironmongery in Kent
In Canterbury, 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.
