Getting commercial fire doors right in Wembley
From the HA0 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Wembley for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Wembley, restaurants, schools and student accommodation 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.
Offices, shops and hotels in Wembley can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Wembley 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.
Each installation includes:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
Rules and responsibilities in Wembley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wembley 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 Wembley 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.
