In Preston
Fire door projects in and around Preston.
There's a real mix of property types in Preston — 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.
Why Preston
What's specific about fire door work in Preston.
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 Preston.
Mill and warehouse conversions
Plenty of converted industrial buildings around Preston — exposed brick, big openings, awkward compartmentation lines. Fire door specs need to match the original design intent or the assessor will flag it.
Older terrace HMOs
Small landlord HMOs in Preston terraces are the bread-and-butter of remediation work — bedroom doors brought up to FD30S, stair sets sorted, signage added.
Mixed property stock
Preston 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 Preston 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.
Service area
Where we cover around Preston.
On every door
What we actually check on a Preston install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Signage — fire door keep shut / keep locked, where required
- Closer model, force setting and whether it actually closes from any angle
- Architrave reinstatement without blocking the seal
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
