Fire exit doors in Colchester

Our Colchester supply and fit service

For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Colchester, we provide fire exit doors with panic hardware 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.

Colchester is about 25 miles from Southend-on-Sea. Wherever your building is in CO1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.

What the law says in Colchester

Fire doors in Colchester sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

Common questions in Essex

Which rules do fire exit doors in Colchester 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.

How quickly can you survey in Colchester?

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

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit fire exit doors throughout Colchester and the rest of Essex, including CO1 and nearby Sudbury.

Can a fire exit door be locked?

Not in a way that prevents instant exit without a key while the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware achieves security and escape together.
