Fire door performance is all in the details
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. Across Stoke-on-Trent's six towns that duty reaches everything from the large hospital estate to converted pottery-industry buildings and city-centre commercial stock.
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. The heritage pottery buildings around the city are the trickiest — original openings rarely match modern doorset dimensions — so a careful survey always precedes a certifiable fix.
Fire doors for the Royal Stoke and healthcare sites
Healthcare leads our fire door work in Stoke-on-Trent, anchored by the large hospital estate at the Royal Stoke. Clinical buildings set demanding conditions: compartmentation must be maintained continuously, departments stay open, and installers need to 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.
Workplaces, campuses and homes
Commercial
Hanley as the commercial centre and the Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone bring commercial and industrial premises needing fire door programmes that keep operations running.
Education
For schools and colleges we schedule education works around holidays and out-of-hours windows.
Housing and residential
For residential blocks we support owners and managing agents with survey, remedial and replacement programmes meeting the 2022 Regulations.
Accreditations in place before we start
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 Stoke-on-Trent project also needs redecoration we can run it alongside our painting and decorating in Stoke-on-Trent team on one programme and a single point of contact.
