What the law says in Christchurch

In Christchurch, 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.

Questions about timber fire doors in Christchurch

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Christchurch?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Christchurch?

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.

Is the survey in Christchurch free?

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

Can a timber fire door be trimmed on site?

Only within the limits the manufacturer's evidence allows, usually a few millimetres. We prefer made-to-measure doorsets so no trimming is needed.
