Getting commercial fire doors right in Brixton
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Brixton, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Brixton, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For commercial buildings in Brixton, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Brixton gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
Rules and responsibilities in Brixton
In Brixton, 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 Brixton 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.
