Commercial fire doors: our service in Archway
Our commercial fire doors service in Archway is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Archway has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, schools and student accommodation, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Offices, shops and hotels in Archway can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Archway gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
On a typical job that means:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
The regulations behind fire doors in Archway
England's framework applies in Archway. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Archway, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
