Fire door closers in Feltham, done to the evidence
Our fire door closers service in Feltham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Feltham protect escape routes in purpose-built blocks of flats, hotels and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Free-swing closers are a practical option for Feltham care homes and supported living. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Feltham fire doors.
The most common fire door fault
A fire door that does not close is not doing its job. Closers fail because they are under-powered, out of adjustment, damaged, leaking or disconnected by people who find the door too heavy. Often the fix is a correctly sized closer, set up properly, rather than a new door.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Record of model and settings
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
Which fire door rules apply in Feltham?
England's framework applies in Feltham. 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 Feltham, 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 from Feltham
Is Feltham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Feltham in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Hanworth. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Feltham 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.
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.
