Fire Door FAQs: Downham Market

Do flats above shops in Downham Market town centre need fire doors?

Usually, yes. Where flats share a staircase or entrance with a shop or office, the fire risk assessment normally calls for fire-resisting doors and construction between the commercial and residential parts, and a self-closing fire door to each flat. This keeps the escape route clear of smoke if a fire starts in the business below.

Which council licenses HMOs in Downham Market?

HMOs in Downham Market are licensed by the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. Mandatory licensing applies where five or more people from two or more households share a property, and licence conditions normally include fire safety measures such as fire doors.

Do I need fire doors in my Downham Market property?

If your Downham Market property is an HMO, a block of flats, a care home, a hotel or a commercial building, fire doors are almost certainly part of its fire strategy, and the responsible person must keep them in working order under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Houses of three or more storeys and conversions built under Building Regulations may also require them.

How much does a fire door inspection cost in Downham Market?

The cost depends on the number of doors and the type of property. Contact Access Fire Doors for a free, no-obligation quote for your Downham Market property. Our inspections are FIRAS certified and give you the evidence insurers and licensing officers ask for.
