Communal fire doors for Greenford buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Greenford, we offer communal fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Greenford protect escape routes in converted flats, restaurants and clinics alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We phase communal door replacements in Greenford so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Greenford is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
- Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
- Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
Which fire door rules apply in Greenford?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Greenford 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 Greenford 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.

Questions
Do you cover UB6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Greenford including UB6, and nearby towns such as Northolt and Southall. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Greenford building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do communal doors need vision panels?
Not always, but they are common on cross-corridor and lobby doors so people can see who is coming the other way. Any glazing has to be fire-rated and fitted in a tested system.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
