FAQs
Fire Doors & Emergency Lighting in Guildford: FAQs
Do you provide fire doors & emergency lighting across all of Guildford?
Yes, we cover the GU1, GU2, GU3 and GU4 postcode areas in full, including Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Westborough, Charlotteville, Shalford.
Who is responsible for maintaining fire doors after installation?
The building's responsible person under fire safety legislation has an ongoing duty to check fire doors — self-closing correctly, seals intact and undamaged. We fit doors correctly at installation and can include periodic checks in a maintenance contract, but day-to-day responsibility sits with the responsible person.
What rating of fire door do I need?
This depends on the building's fire risk assessment and means of escape strategy — commonly FD30 or FD60 — rather than being assumed. We install to the rating specified in your assessment.
Are there conservation areas across Guildford?
Yes, several, including the historic town centre and parts of some residential neighbourhoods. We check the position for your specific address as part of the feasibility assessment.
