We supply and install glazed fire doorsets in timber, steel and aluminium, single and double, as stand-alone doors or within glazed screens. We match the door to the rating and duty of its position, and fit it to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Workington, including the CA14 districts, and in nearby Whitehaven, Dumfries, Carlisle. Workington is about 48 km from Carlisle, the largest town in our Cumbria coverage.
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
Residential blocks in England over 11 metres need regular fire door checks under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022; glazed doors are included.
The safest route is a complete doorset with frame and hardware tested together. Mixing a leaf from one source with a frame from another needs evidence that covers the combination.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
