Communal fire door installation in Feltham

Communal fire doors: our service in Feltham

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Feltham, we offer communal fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Feltham protect escape routes in clinics, mixed-use office buildings and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Communal corridors and stairs in Feltham buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. We phase communal door replacements in Feltham so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme.

How do you work in an occupied building?

Escape routes have to stay usable. We phase communal door work so that no stair or corridor is left without protection overnight, keep a doorset ready to fit before removing the old one, and agree working hours with the building manager. Where a hold-open device is needed, we coordinate with your fire alarm contractor for the release interface.

Each installation includes:

• Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Survey of every communal opening and its use

Fire door law for Feltham properties

England's framework applies in Feltham. 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 Feltham, 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.

Which buildings in Feltham need communal fire doors?

The need for communal fire doors usually arises in hotels or blocks of flats, and sometimes student accommodation. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Feltham to keep escape routes protected throughout.
