In Sidmouth
Fire door projects in and around Sidmouth.
There's a real mix of property types in Sidmouth — 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 Sidmouth
What's specific about fire door work in Sidmouth.
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 Sidmouth.
Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses
Sidmouth's hospitality stock means a lot of bedroom-door work and back-of-house compartmentation. We schedule around occupancy so rooms stay lettable.
Salt-air corrosion on hardware
Coastal stock around Sidmouth eats hinges and closers faster than inland sites. We spec marine-grade or stainless ironmongery where it makes sense, so the door still self-closes after a couple of winters.
Holiday lets and short-term rentals
Lots of converted seafront properties around Sidmouth are short-let now, which brings them under the same fire safety regs as a small HMO. Surveyors are checking flat-entrance doors much more carefully than they used to.
Mixed property stock
Sidmouth 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.

On every door
What we actually check on a Sidmouth install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Hinge gauge, count and certification — three minimum on a fire door
- Threshold detail and any cold smoke seal at the bottom
- 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
