Getting stairwell fire doors fitted in Sevenoaks
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Sevenoaks, we provide doors onto protected stairs and escape routes with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Where possible we combine Sevenoaks surveys with other visits in Kent, such as Tonbridge and Swanley, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Sevenoaks
In Sevenoaks, 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.
