What makes communal doors different?

Communal doors take far more traffic than flat entrance doors. They are pushed with trolleys, propped open and slammed. Many are pairs, glazed, or fitted with hold-open devices. That combination is why communal doors so often fail inspections for gaps, worn seals, damaged closers and doors that no longer latch.

In England, communal fire doors in residential buildings above 11 metres must be checked at least every three months under regulation 10. A sound installation makes passing those checks routine.

As standard, the work covers:

• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
• Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected

The regulations behind fire doors in Putney

The rules that apply to fire doors in Putney 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 Putney 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.
