Double fire doors in Wembley: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wembley, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Wembley has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, converted flats and mixed-use office buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Wembley is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Wembley care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
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
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
Rules and responsibilities in Wembley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wembley are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in Wembley sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Wembley block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Wembley
Do you cover HA0 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wembley including HA0, and nearby towns such as Harrow and Greenford. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wembley building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
