In Lancaster
The reality of fire door work in Lancaster.
A lot of our Lancaster work is in occupied buildings. Tenants in, staff working, kids in classrooms. So we plan around that — phased installs, dust sheets, cleaning down at the end of each day. Nobody wants a contractor camping out for a fortnight.
Why Lancaster
What's specific about fire door work in Lancaster.
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 Lancaster.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Lancaster'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.
Mixed property stock
Lancaster 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 Lancaster 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.
Working around occupants
Most Lancaster jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

On every door
What we actually check on a Lancaster install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Latch and lock case fire-rated and CE/UKCA marked
- Overall fit — does it actually self-close and latch from 30°?
- Frame condition, fixings and packing material
- Intumescent and smoke seal type, position and continuity
- Signage — fire door keep shut / keep locked, where required
- Closer model, force setting and whether it actually closes from any angle

FAQ
Fire door questions from Lancaster.
Can you work in occupied buildings in Lancaster?
All the time. HMOs, flats, care, commercial. Phased works, dust kept down, residents and staff respected.
What ironmongery do you use?
Only certified components compatible with the door's tested spec. CE/UKCA-marked hinges, closers, latches, seals. No bodges.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in Lancaster 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 Lancaster 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 Lancaster 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 Lancaster comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
