What fire door closers in Hampton should include
Our fire door closers service covers Hampton and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Hampton, fire door work covers everything from hotels to clinics. 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 Hampton fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Hampton 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.
What you get:
- Record of model and settings
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
What the rules say for Hampton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hampton 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Hampton 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.
Who needs fire door closers in Hampton?
The need for fire door closers usually arises in offices or HMOs, and sometimes blocks of flats. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Hampton to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Common questions
Is Hampton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hampton in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Hanworth. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Hampton?
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.
Can a fire door closer be too strong?
Yes. An over-powered or badly set closer makes the door hard to open and may lead people to wedge it. The goal is reliable closing with a reasonable opening force.
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.
