Communal fire doors in Peckham

Communal fire doors: our service in Peckham

We provide communal fire doors in Peckham (SE15 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Fire doors in Peckham protect escape routes in converted flats, purpose-built blocks of flats and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We phase communal door replacements in Peckham so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Peckham is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.

Pairs, vision panels and robust finishes

We fit single, double and leaf-and-a-half communal doors, with vision panels in tested glazing systems and finishes chosen to stand up to use, such as laminates and kick plates covered by the certification. For pairs, the meeting edges, rebates and any door coordinator must match the evidence; see our double fire doors page.

Each installation includes:

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

Which fire door rules apply in Peckham?

In Peckham, 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 Peckham 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.

Buildings and duty holders in Peckham

Typical settings for communal fire doors include sheltered and supported housing, blocks of flats and student accommodation. In Peckham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
