Fire exit doors in Rawtenstall: how we work

Getting fire exit doors right in Rawtenstall means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.

Rawtenstall is about 17 miles from Preston; we cover both, along with Accrington, Bury and Burnley.

Fire door rules in Rawtenstall

Because Rawtenstall is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
