Composite fire doors for Canary Wharf buildings
We provide composite fire doors in Canary Wharf (E14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Canary Wharf, fire door work covers everything from converted flats to purpose-built blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For deck-access blocks in and around Canary Wharf, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Canary Wharf 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
