What double fire doors in Battersea should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Battersea, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Battersea protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, restaurants and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Battersea is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Battersea care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
What you get:
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence
The regulations behind fire doors in Battersea
England's framework applies in Battersea. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Battersea sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Battersea, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you work in Battersea?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Battersea and the surrounding area, including Chelsea and Pimlico. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Battersea?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
