Fire doors, from the medieval core to the Research Park
Fire door responsibility rests with the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, covering non-domestic premises and communal residential areas, with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adding scheduled checks in buildings over 11 metres. Norwich's stock spans one of the densest concentrations of listed buildings in the country, the laboratories of the Research Park and a large hospital estate — a wide spread of duties to meet.
A rating belongs to the whole doorset. We survey and fit intumescent strips and smoke seals, certified hinges and closers, correct perimeter gaps and compatible glazing, because an FD30 or FD60 door only performs when every part is certified and correctly installed. In the medieval listed core, upgrading existing doors sympathetically is often the right route where a survey shows it will meet the standard.
Fire doors for the Norfolk and Norwich hospital estate
Healthcare leads our fire door work in Norwich, anchored by the Norfolk and Norwich hospital estate. Clinical buildings demand continuous compartmentation, departments that stay open, and installers who can work cleanly around infection-control requirements.
We phase surveys and installations department by department and out of hours where needed, and provide the certification and inspection records estates teams rely on to evidence compliance. Every installer holds a CSCS card with City & Guilds or NVQ training, and our CHAS and Constructionline accreditations are in place for NHS pre-qualification.
Research, workplaces and the leisure quarter
Commercial and laboratory
The Norwich Research Park and Broadland Business Park bring commercial and laboratory stock where fire door programmes fit around research and operations.
Hotels and leisure
The Riverside leisure quarter brings hotel and leisure venues needing compartmentation maintained with minimal closure.
Education
For schools and colleges we schedule education works around holidays and out-of-hours windows.
Certified and inspection-ready
Every instruction opens with an inspection and an itemised quote separating doors that need replacing from those a repair will restore. Our tradespeople hold CSCS cards and train to City & Guilds or NVQ level, and the business is CHAS and Constructionline accredited with ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certification.
Fire door work often forms part of a wider refurbishment, and where a Norwich project also needs redecoration, we can run it alongside our painting and decorating team in Norwich on one programme and with a single point of contact.
