Commercial fire doors in Blackheath, done to the evidence
We provide commercial fire doors in Blackheath (SE3 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Blackheath range from purpose-built blocks of flats to clinics and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Each commercial door we fit in Blackheath gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Blackheath can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Working in live premises
We plan commercial installations around trading hours, out-of-hours slots and phased handovers, keeping escape routes protected throughout. You get a clear record per door that your fire risk assessor can use.
Each installation includes:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
