Stairwell fire doors in Stockport: how we work
Getting stairwell fire doors right in Stockport 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.
Where possible we combine Stockport surveys with other visits in Greater Manchester, such as Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Which rules apply in Stockport?

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.
