Commercial fire doors in Ilford, done to the evidence
We provide commercial fire doors in Ilford (IG1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Ilford, fire door work covers everything from converted flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Ilford can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Ilford gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
Each installation includes:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
The regulations behind fire doors in Ilford
England's framework applies in Ilford. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Ilford, 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.
