Fire door compliance for a growing city
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. Peterborough's rapid growth — new housing at Hampton and the Ortons, office campuses at Lynch Wood and Thorpe Wood, and the Fengate industrial stock — steadily widens the pool of buildings within these duties.
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 component is certified and correctly installed. Our surveys record exactly what each door needs, so the certification stands up to inspection.
Fire doors for Peterborough's office campuses
Commercial buildings lead our fire door work in Peterborough, from the out-of-town office campuses at Lynch Wood and Thorpe Wood to the city-centre regeneration around Queensgate. Occupied offices need works that keep tenants trading, so we survey and install around operating hours and phase work zone by zone, handing over the documentation an estates team needs to evidence compliance.
Homes, industry and schools
Housing and residential
The major new-build expansion at Hampton and the Ortons brings residential blocks where owners and managing agents carry 2022-Regulations duties — we deliver survey, remedial and replacement programmes.
Industrial
The Fengate industrial and distribution stock brings offices, welfare and plant areas needing certified fire doors, which we survey and install to the building's fire strategy.
Education
For schools and colleges we schedule education works around holidays and out-of-hours windows.
Accredited, thorough, straightforward
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 Peterborough project also needs redecoration, we can run it alongside our painting and decorating team in Peterborough on one programme and with a single point of contact.
