Commercial fire doors in Greenwich: what's involved
Our commercial fire doors service covers Greenwich and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Greenwich, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Greenwich can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Greenwich 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.
Each installation includes:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
What the rules say for Greenwich
The rules that apply to fire doors in Greenwich 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 Greenwich sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Greenwich 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.
Where commercial fire doors fit in Greenwich
From gyms and leisure sites to restaurants, the requirement for commercial fire doors in Greenwich comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Greenwich within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Greenwich in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Blackheath. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Greenwich building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
