Fire exit doors in Grays

Fire exit doors in Grays: how we work

We fit fire exit doors with panic hardware in Grays and the rest of Essex. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.

Grays is about 17 miles from Southend-on-Sea. Wherever your building is in RM17, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.

Which rules apply in Grays?

Fire doors in Grays 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.

Fire exit doors in Grays: questions

Can you fit just one door in Grays?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Essex.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Grays?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Grays?

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.

Which way does a fire exit door open?

Outward, in the direction of escape, where occupancy requires it — most commercial exit doors open outward.
