Getting commercial fire doors right in Shepherds Bush
From the W12 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Shepherds Bush for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Shepherds Bush, schools, purpose-built blocks of flats and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For commercial buildings in Shepherds Bush, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Shepherds Bush 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.
What you get:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
What the rules say for Shepherds Bush
In Shepherds Bush, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Shepherds Bush building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
