Fire doors are an essential part of a building’s fire safety measures, but their effectiveness depends upon far more than the door itself. The frame, hinges, seals, closer, ironmongery and installation all need to work together as an appropriate fire resisting doorset.
If you require fire door installation in Bournemouth, choosing suitably trained professionals can help ensure that the doors are fitted correctly and remain capable of performing as intended.
Coreworks Property Services provides fire door installation, repairs, maintenance and inspections from its base in Poole, working with customers throughout Bournemouth, Dorset and the surrounding counties. Its team has completed FireQual approved training and the company is an Affiliate member of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers.
Whether you are responsible for a block of flats, commercial premises, rented property or another building in Bournemouth, professional advice can help you establish whether existing fire doors remain suitable or whether replacement is necessary.
Contact us TodayA fire door is designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke for a specified period, helping to protect escape routes and compartmentation within a building. However, installing one is not simply a matter of replacing a conventional internal door with a heavier alternative.
Professional fire door installation in Bournemouth considers the complete dorset and its intended location. This can include the door leaf, frame, hinges, intumescent seals, smoke seals, self closing device and other ironmongery.
Coreworks Property Services provides fire door installation alongside inspection, repair and maintenance services. This means property owners and those responsible for buildings can seek professional assistance whether they require a completely new installation or are concerned about the condition of an existing door.
Book Your Fire Door InspectionFire doors are designed to form part of a wider fire safety strategy. If a door does not close properly, has unsuitable components or has excessive gaps around it, its ability to resist fire and smoke may be compromised.
Government guidance on fire door checks specifically highlights matters including gaps around the frame, correctly fitted seals and hinges, the operation of the door closer, correct closing around the entire frame and visible damage.
Consequently, attention to detail is fundamental during installation.
Choosing professional fire door installers in Bournemouth also provides an opportunity to consider the wider condition and suitability of the dorset rather than viewing the door leaf in isolation.
Not every damaged or ageing fire door automatically needs replacing. In some circumstances, a competent professional may determine that repairs or maintenance are suitable. In others, replacement may be necessary.
Potential reasons to arrange a professional assessment include visible damage to the door or frame, problems with the closer, damaged or missing seals, unsuitable alterations, damaged hinges or concerns about the gaps surrounding the door.
Importantly, an older fire door should not automatically be condemned merely because it was manufactured to an earlier standard. Government guidance states that the Fire Safety (England) Regulations were not intended to require wholesale replacement of existing fire doors simply because they do not meet the current standards for new doors. Instead, their suitability should be considered within the relevant fire safety assessment and circumstances.
If you are unsure whether you require repair or fire door replacement in Bournemouth, Coreworks Property Services can inspect existing fire doors and advise upon the work required.
Check Your Compliance NowFire doors have particular importance within blocks of flats and other multi occupied residential buildings because they can help protect communal escape routes and restrict the movement of fire and smoke.
The Fire Safety Act 2021 clarified that the Fire Safety Order applies to individual flat entrance doors between domestic premises and common parts.
Furthermore, under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons for multi occupied residential buildings where the top storey is above 11 metres must use their best endeavours to check flat entrance fire doors at least every 12 months and must check communal fire doors at least every three months. These checks include ensuring that self closing devices are working.
Buildings below 11 metres are not simply exempt from wider fire safety responsibilities. Government information confirms that existing duties under the Fire Safety Order continue to apply where relevant.
For landlords, freeholders, managing agents and property managers in Bournemouth, professional fire door inspections can therefore be an important part of managing a building responsibly.

The precise fire safety measures required will depend upon factors such as the building, its use, layout and fire risk assessment. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires appropriate fire precautions in premises within its scope, while Approved Document B provides statutory guidance relating to fire safety requirements under the Building Regulations in England.
Rather than relying upon a general assumption about which doors are required, businesses should consider their individual premises and applicable fire safety requirements.
Coreworks Property Services can provide professional fire door installation, inspection, repairs and maintenance for properties in Bournemouth and across its wider service area.
Request Professional InstallationRegular checks can identify deterioration before it becomes a more serious concern.
Fire doors are subject to everyday use, so hinges, closers, seals and other components can deteriorate or become damaged. A door may also have been altered since its original installation.
Government guidance recognises that wear and tear can cause defects and emphasises the need to keep fire doors in good working order and repair.
If you have inherited responsibility for a building, cannot confirm when its doors were last inspected or have noticed visible defects, arranging a professional inspection can provide a clearer understanding of their present condition.

Ensure Your Building is CompliantIf you believe a property requires new or replacement fire doors, the first step is to establish exactly what work is necessary.
Existing doors may require inspection, while a new installation will need to take account of the appropriate specification, doorset and associated components.
