Communal fire doors in Streatham, done to the evidence

Looking for communal fire doors in Streatham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Streatham and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Streatham has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, clinics and hotels, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

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

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets

The regulations behind fire doors in Streatham

The rules that apply to fire doors in Streatham 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Streatham sits with the London Fire Brigade.

Where a Streatham 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.
