Commercial fire doors — mixed-use, shop-with-flat-above and small-office refurbishments.
Commercial landlords of mixed-use property — shop with flat above, office over retail, converted chapel — carry a fire-door duty on every door protecting a means of escape. Cornwall's town-centre stock (Truro, St Austell, Bodmin, Camborne) is overwhelmingly mixed-use, and the flat-entrance door and stair-enclosure doors are the first assets Fire Risk Assessors focus on.
Regulatory context for commercial landlords
The 'responsible person' under the 2005 Fire Safety Order for commercial common parts is normally the freeholder or their managing agent. Any door between a commercial unit and a residential means of escape is a fire door — typically FD30S minimum, FD60 where residential units sit above a higher-risk commercial use (restaurant, hot-food takeaway).
Our approach with commercial landlords
We survey the whole means-of-escape at once, quote each doorset separately for phased or portfolio-level roll-out, and install to a schedule that respects trading hours. 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.
