Double fire doors for Canary Wharf buildings
Looking for double fire doors in Canary Wharf? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Canary Wharf and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Canary Wharf has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, care homes and shared houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Canary Wharf take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Canary Wharf is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
What you get:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Closers matched to each leaf
The regulations behind fire doors in Canary Wharf
England's framework applies in Canary Wharf. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Canary Wharf, 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.

Questions
Is Canary Wharf within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Canary Wharf in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Bow. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Canary Wharf?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
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.
