Commercial Fire Doors

Where Commercial Fire Doors Are Commonly Found
Fire-resisting doorsets are typically placed where a compartment line or escape route needs protecting. Not every doorway in these areas is a fire door — the fire strategy for the building determines which openings require one.
- Offices and office floors
- Warehouses and distribution units
- Industrial units
- Shops and retail units
- Communal areas and receptions
- Corridors and circulation routes
- Stairwells and lobbies

Common Commercial Fire Door Defects
High traffic, trolleys, deliveries and repeated fit-outs take their toll. These are examples of defects that may appear in reports, action lists or works-scoping visits.
- Excessive or uneven perimeter gaps
- Damaged, missing or painted-over seals
- Damaged door leaves and frames
- Unsuitable or non-fire-rated ironmongery
- Closers removed, faulty or poorly adjusted
- Doors that do not close fully or latch
- Loose or inadequate frame fixings
- Non-compliant glazing, beads or vision panels
- Unauthorised alterations and additional cut-outs
- Threshold and smoke sealing shortfalls
- Missing or damaged signage
- No available information on the door's specification
Landlords and freeholders of leased premises can read fire doors for commercial landlords for how shared-area and tenant doors are separated in a quotation.
Site Assessment to Scope and Price Works
Our site assessment establishes the scope, measurements and pricing for remedial or replacement works. Each door is given a reference matching your report or action list where one exists, and we look at the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hardware, closing and latching and alterations so the quotation reflects the actual work. This is not a formal inspection and does not produce formal findings or a report. Where you need a formal door-by-door inspection, report or reinspection, it is arranged through our external specialist inspection contractor.
Arrange a commercial fire door surveyFire Door Repairs & Remedials
A large proportion of the defects recorded in commercial buildings are repairable. Gaps and alignment, seals, hinges, closers, latching faults, unsuitable ironmongery and localised damage can normally be corrected where the door's construction is known and the frame is sound, which is usually the quicker and more economical route.
Fire door repairs & remedialsReplacement & Installation
A new doorset may be appropriate where the construction cannot be established, the leaf or frame is severely damaged, alterations have compromised the assembly, the glazing arrangement is unsuitable or remedial cost approaches that of replacement. A failed formal inspection result does not automatically mean a door must be replaced.
Fire door installationKeeping Disruption to a Minimum
Commercial buildings have to keep working while fire door work is carried out. We plan around trading hours, staff and tenant movements, deliveries and warehouse operations, and agree access to tenanted areas, plant rooms and secure zones in advance. Evening or weekend working can be discussed and arranged where it is available and practical for the site.
Larger schedules are phased floor by floor or zone by zone so that circulation and escape routes remain usable and areas are handed back progressively. We protect finishes, clear waste as we go and leave each area clean and secure.
Planned Multi-Door & Multi-Site Programmes
Where a portfolio, industrial estate or group of managed buildings needs bringing up to a consistent standard, we can scope the whole programme rather than treating each door as a separate job. That starts with a works-scoping site assessment across the sites (or your existing report), followed by a single itemised schedule showing what is repairable and what we recommend replacing.
Works can then be phased to the priorities in the formal report/FRA action list and the client's programme, across buildings and budget periods, with consistent referencing and records so the position across the estate stays clear. Programme timings and sequencing are agreed with you for the specific sites involved.
