Fire doors · Block Management Companies

Fire door upgrade programmes for block management companies in Cornwall.

Block managers running purpose-built residential blocks in Truro, Falmouth, St Ives, Newquay and along the south-coast retirement belt have the tightest post-Grenfell compliance burden in the sector. Every flat entrance door, cross-corridor door and stair-enclosure door falls within the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 checks regime.

Regulatory context for block management companies

Reg 10 requires the responsible person for buildings above 11m to carry out quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors. Where the checks identify a non-compliant doorset, replacement is the default remediation. In taller blocks (>18m) the Building Safety Act 2022 additionally requires a golden-thread audit trail — every doorset needs traceable certification.

Our approach with block management companies

We work to block-level programmes with named building surveyors, phased staircase-by-staircase installation, minimum tenant disruption, and full compliance documentation packaged per flat and per building. Every doorset we install carries independent third-party certification (BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire or IFC) covering the exact tested slab, frame, seal, hardware and glazing combination. Installation follows the manufacturer's tested method and hands over with the manufacturer certificate, installation certificate and photo evidence for your compliance file.
