Fire door closers: our service in Stratford
Our fire door closers service in Stratford is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Stratford, fire door work covers everything from care homes to purpose-built blocks of 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 Stratford fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Stratford 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:
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Record of model and settings
The regulations behind fire doors in Stratford
England's framework applies in Stratford. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Stratford sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Stratford, 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.
Which buildings in Stratford need fire door closers?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Stratford can all commission fire door closers from us. The usual settings are care homes and blocks of flats, though single doors for schools are just as welcome.

Questions from Stratford
Is Stratford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stratford in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Bow. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stratford 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.
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.
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.
