Fire door rules in Newmarket

In Newmarket, 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.

Common questions in Suffolk

Can you work around tenants or staff in Newmarket?

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.

Which rules do stairwell fire doors in Newmarket need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Can you fit just one door in Newmarket?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Suffolk.

Which way should an escape door open?

In the direction of escape where the number of people using it is high — Approved Document B sets the thresholds. Many small-occupancy doors can open either way.
