What the law says in St Helens
In St Helens, 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 Merseyside
Can you fit just one door in St Helens?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Merseyside.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in St Helens.
Which rules do timber fire doors in St Helens 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 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.
