School fire doors in Portslade: how we work
We cover Portslade and nearby Hove for school fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Where possible we combine Portslade surveys with other visits in East Sussex, such as Hove and Brighton, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for school fire doors in East Sussex
In Portslade, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
