Composite fire doors in Battersea

Composite fire doors in Battersea, done to the evidence

We provide composite fire doors in Battersea (SW11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Battersea, shared houses, hotels and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Battersea they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Battersea in configurations covered by the product's certification.

How we fit composite doorsets

Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.

Each installation includes:

• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• FD30S composite doorset made to measure

Fire door law for Battersea properties

In Battersea, 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 Battersea 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.
