What commercial fire doors in Croydon should include
From the CR7 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Croydon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Croydon protect escape routes in restaurants, shared houses and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Croydon can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Croydon 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
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
Rules and responsibilities in Croydon
England's framework applies in Croydon. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Croydon sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Croydon, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Croydon
Do you cover CR7 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Croydon including CR7, and nearby towns such as South Croydon and Wallington. The survey and written quote are free.
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 you install fire doors outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.
