Communal fire doors in Woodford Green

Communal fire doors for Woodford Green buildings

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

Buildings in and around Woodford Green range from restaurants to converted flats and shared houses. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Communal corridors and stairs in Woodford Green buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. We phase communal door replacements in Woodford Green 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.

Each installation includes:

• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Survey of every communal opening and its use
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
