Commercial fire doors for Bexley buildings
If you need commercial fire doors in Bexley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Bexley, hotels, clinics and student accommodation all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Each commercial door we fit in Bexley gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Bexley can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
As standard, the work covers:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Out-of-hours and phased working
What the rules say for Bexley
In Bexley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Bexley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
