What the law says in Peterborough
In Peterborough, 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.

Which rules do timber fire doors in Peterborough 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.

We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Peterborough visits with other work in Cambridgeshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Are timber doors as good as steel?
For FD30 and FD60 in most buildings, yes. Steel suits plant areas, high security and longer ratings.
