Commercial fire doors: our service in Bow
If you need commercial fire doors in Bow, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Bow range from shared houses to converted flats and hotels. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Offices, shops and hotels in Bow can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Bow gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
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.
What you get:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Glazed and solid options to certification
The regulations behind fire doors in Bow
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bow are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in Bow sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Bow block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you work in Bow?
Yes, we take on commercial fire doors in Bow and the surrounding area, including Stratford and Canary Wharf. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
