In Exeter

What fire door work actually looks like in Exeter.

There's a real mix of property types in Exeter — flats above shops, HMOs, schools, the odd care home — and the fire door rules don't bend just because a building's awkward. We've worked through most of it.

Small block conversion in Exeter where every original frame was out of true. Adjusted, hung and certified each door without touching the leaf — owner's surveyor signed it off first visit.

Why Exeter

What's specific about fire door work in Exeter.

Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Exeter.

Student HMOs and PBSA

Exeter's big student population means a lot of HMO bedroom-door programmes and purpose-built student accommodation. Vacation windows are tight — we plan installs around lease changeover.

Listed and conservation-area buildings

Plenty of Exeter buildings are listed or in a conservation area, so fire doors often need to look right as well as perform. Painted finishes, traditional architrave reinstatement, ironmongery that doesn't shout — all part of the spec.

Mixed property stock

Exeter has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.

Tighter assessor scrutiny

Fire risk assessors covering Exeter are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.

FAQ

Fire door questions from Exeter.

What happens if a door fails inspection later?

If it's our install in Exeter and it's an installation issue, we come back and sort it. That's part of the workmanship guarantee.

Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Exeter be brought back into compliance?

Honestly — a lot of doors fail because of gaps, seals or wrong ironmongery, not the door itself. We'll tell you straight on the survey whether your Exeter doors are remediable or if they're past it.

What's the difference between FD30 and FD60?

FD30 holds back fire for 30 minutes, FD60 for 60. Which you need depends on the building's compartmentation strategy in your fire risk assessment — not something to guess at.

Will I get paperwork for the fire risk assessor?

Yes. Every door fitted in Exeter comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
