Getting commercial fire doors right in Hounslow
From the TW3 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Hounslow for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Hounslow, fire door work covers everything from hotels to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For commercial buildings in Hounslow, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Hounslow 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
The regulations behind fire doors in Hounslow
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hounslow 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Hounslow 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.
