What the law says in Paignton

In Paignton, 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.

Your questions answered

Can you work around tenants or staff in Paignton?

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.

Can you fit just one door in Paignton?

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

Is the survey in Paignton free?

Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.

Are steel fire doors better than timber?

Not better — different. Steel suits heavy-use, external and high-rating locations; timber suits most internal doors.
