Getting commercial fire doors right in Purley
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Purley, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Purley, fire door work covers everything from clinics to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For commercial buildings in Purley, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Purley 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification

It is. We cover Purley in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Coulsdon. There is no charge for the survey.
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.

The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
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.
