Fire door rules in Christchurch

Fire doors in Christchurch 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.

Glazed fire doors prices in Christchurch

Common questions in Dorset

Can you work around tenants or staff in Christchurch?

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.

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Christchurch.

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Christchurch?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Is wired glass still used?

Rarely now. Modern clear fire-resistant glass gives much better visibility.
