Fire door closers for Holloway buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Holloway, we offer fire door closers with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Holloway, fire door work covers everything from hotels to restaurants. 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 Holloway fire doors. We set closers in Holloway buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Record of model and settings
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Close-and-latch test from full open
Rules and responsibilities in Holloway
Fire doors in Holloway fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For residential buildings in Holloway above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Is Holloway within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Holloway in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Highbury. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Holloway?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
