Double fire door installation in Hampton

Double fire doors: our service in Hampton

Looking for double fire doors in Hampton? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Hampton and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Hampton has a broad mix of buildings, including mixed-use office buildings, purpose-built blocks of flats and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Hampton take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Hampton 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Closers matched to each leaf

Rules and responsibilities in Hampton

England's framework applies in Hampton. 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 Hampton, 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.
