Commercial fire doors in Canary Wharf, done to the evidence
We provide commercial fire doors in Canary Wharf (E14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Canary Wharf, fire door work covers everything from care homes to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Canary Wharf can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Canary Wharf, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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.
What you get:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
The regulations behind fire doors in Canary Wharf
Fire doors in Canary Wharf fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. Enforcement of fire safety law in Canary Wharf sits with the London Fire Brigade.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you work in Canary Wharf?
Yes, we take on commercial fire doors in Canary Wharf and the surrounding area, including Bow and Canning Town. 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 veneered fire doors match our interior?
Many certified doorsets come in a wide range of veneers and laminates, so matching an interior scheme is usually possible.
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.
