Fire Door Services for Norwich

Norwich's historic centre, with its cathedral, castle and many medieval churches, is surrounded by Victorian terraces, post-war estates and newer apartment blocks along the river. The University of East Anglia and Norwich University of the Arts also bring a large student rental market to the city.

Access Fire Doors is based in Wymondham, south-west of the city, and Norwich is a core part of our area. We provide FIRAS-certified fire door inspections, repairs and certified installations across Norwich, with a photographic report for every inspection.

Fire Doors in Norwich Student Lets and Listed Buildings

Areas such as the Golden Triangle, Earlham and the streets near UEA have many terraced houses let to students as HMOs, where bedroom and kitchen fire doors are central to the fire safety of the house. Larger HMOs need a licence from Norwich City Council. In the city centre, many listed buildings contain flats and offices above shops, and historic doors may need listed building consent before they are altered.

In Norwich, fire doors are particularly important in:

  • Student HMOs and shared houses
  • Listed and historic buildings in the city centre
  • Riverside apartment blocks and new developments
  • Offices, shops and mixed-use buildings
  • Care homes and supported living
  • Hotels, schools and community buildings

Our Norwich Fire Door Services

Fire Door Inspections

We check certification, gaps, seals, hinges, closers, latches and glazing on every door, and record each one with photographs. For student lets, inspecting in the summer between tenancies makes it easier to reach every room and finish repairs before the new academic year.

Fire Door Installation

Our NVQ Level 3 qualified installers supply and fit certified FD30 and FD60 doorsets across the city, from single bedroom doors in an HMO to planned replacement in a block of flats.

Maintenance and Repairs

We carry out repairs and planned maintenance for landlords, managing agents and businesses, including closer adjustment, seal and hinge replacement and rehanging doors.

Fire Door FAQs: Norwich

Do student HMOs in Norwich need fire doors on every bedroom?

In many student HMOs, yes. Bedroom and kitchen doors that open onto the shared escape route are usually expected to be FD30 fire doors, often with self-closers, depending on the number of storeys, the layout and the fire risk assessment. Larger HMOs also need a licence from Norwich City Council.

When is the best time to inspect fire doors in a Norwich student let?

The summer, between tenancies, is usually easiest. Rooms are empty, access is simple and there is time to complete repairs or replacements before new students arrive in September.

Do I need fire doors in my Norwich property?

If your Norwich 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 Norwich?

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 Norwich property. Our inspections are FIRAS certified and give you the evidence insurers and licensing officers ask for.

What does a fire door inspection in Norwich involve?

Our FIRAS-certified inspectors check every part of each doorset: the leaf and frame, intumescent and smoke seals, the self-closer, hinges, latches, glazing and the gaps around the door. You receive a report with photographs, the compliance status of each door and prioritised recommendations for any remedial work.
