What fire door closers in Canning Town should include
If you need fire door closers in Canning Town, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Canning Town, fire door work covers everything from hotels to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Canning Town fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Canning Town care homes and supported living.
Overhead, concealed or free-swing
Overhead closers are the most common and easiest to maintain. Concealed closers keep a clean look and deter tampering, if covered by the door's evidence. Free-swing closers let a door move freely in everyday use and close when the fire alarm sounds, which is useful in care homes and for people who find doors hard to open.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
The regulations behind fire doors in Canning Town
The rules that apply to fire doors in Canning Town 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 Canning Town sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Canning Town 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Canning Town?
Yes, we take on fire door closers in Canning Town and the surrounding area, including Stratford and Bow. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Canning Town?
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 won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
What is a free-swing closer?
A closer that lets the door swing freely in normal use and closes it when the fire alarm operates. It suits care settings and people who find doors heavy.
