What fire door closers in Hanworth should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hanworth, we offer fire door closers with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Hanworth, restaurants, converted flats and hotels all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We set closers in Hanworth buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Hanworth care homes and supported living.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Record of model and settings
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
The regulations behind fire doors in Hanworth
In Hanworth, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hanworth building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Do you cover TW13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hanworth including TW13, and nearby towns such as Hampton and Feltham. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do all fire doors need closers?
Most do. Exceptions include some doors kept locked shut and some doors within houses, depending on the fire strategy.
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.
