Fire exit doors in Formby

Fire exit doors in Formby: how we work

We fit fire exit doors with panic hardware in Formby and the rest of Merseyside. 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.

Where possible we combine Formby surveys with other visits in Merseyside, such as Maghull and Southport, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

What the law says in Formby

Fire doors in Formby 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.
