Fire Doors in Ferndown
We look after fire doors in Ferndown for commercial and industrial units, residential blocks, retirement schemes and communal areas. In short, that means inspection, remedial works, installation and replacement.
COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL & RESIDENTIAL
Ferndown has a distinctly mixed profile, and that shapes the fire door work here. The Ferndown Industrial Estate brings commercial and light-industrial units, where fire doors protect plant rooms, offices and the separating walls between compartments. Around it sit the residential estates of Ferndown itself and the neighbouring communities of West Parley, West Moors, Stapehill and Longham. There is also a sizeable retirement population in bungalows and sheltered-housing schemes. As a result, we handle everything from warehouse and cross-corridor doors to flat entrance doors, each with its own requirements.
We work with facilities managers, commercial landlords, management companies, RMCs, managing agents and retirement-scheme operators across Ferndown. First, we inspect thoroughly and report clearly. Then we carry out the remedial works to bring each door up to standard.
It might be a fire door inspection for a block of flats in West Parley, remedial repairs to a communal door in Longham or a new certified FD30 doorset in Stapehill. Wherever you are, we cover Ferndown and the surrounding area.

RECENT PROJECT
Pembrook House, Wimborne Road East
A managing agent asked us to inspect the fire doors at Pembrook House, a residential block in Ferndown. We inspected and photographed every communal and flat entrance door. As a result, the agent received a clear report on the condition of each door, plus a prioritised list of the remedial actions needed. Read the case study →
WHY IT MATTERS
Compliant doors, evidenced on paper
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any commercial, industrial or residential premises has a duty to keep fire doors in effective working order. In addition, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add specific checking duties in taller residential blocks (full text on legislation.gov.uk). It might be a separating door in a warehouse or a flat entrance door in a sheltered scheme. Either way, we photograph, measure and record every inspection and repair. So you hold the evidence a fire risk assessor, insurer or the Building Safety Regulator will want to see.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Fire doors in Ferndown: common questions
What fire door services do you offer in Ferndown?
Everything a building needs over the life of its doors: fire door inspections, repairs and remedial works, installation of certified doorsets, scheduled maintenance and Level 4 fire risk assessments. Every job is photographed and recorded door by door, so you hold the evidence.
How much does an inspection cost?
Routine inspections are £20 +VAT per single door and £25 +VAT per double door, with a £200 +VAT minimum charge per visit. Regulation 10 checks on doors we have already fully inspected are £10 +VAT per door. Repairs and replacements are quoted per door from the report. Our cost guide has typical figures.
Who is responsible for the doors in a block of flats?
The responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, usually the freeholder, RMC or managing agent, must make sure communal doors and flat entrance doors perform. Leaseholders often own their flat entrance door, but the responsible person still carries the duty. Our guides on the responsible person and who pays explain the split.
Which regulations apply to a block in Ferndown?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to the common parts of every block. The Fire Safety Act 2021 brings flat entrance doors into the fire risk assessment. In blocks over 11 metres, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors. Our legislation hub explains each one in plain English.
Which parts of Ferndown do you cover?
All of Ferndown, plus West Moors, West Parley, Longham, Stapehill, Tricketts Cross and the Ferndown Industrial Estate. We are based fifteen minutes away in Christchurch, so short visits and follow-ups are no problem.
