Fire door closers in Tottenham, done to the evidence
If you need fire door closers in Tottenham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Tottenham range from care homes to student accommodation and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Tottenham fire doors. We set closers in Tottenham 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:
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
Which fire door rules apply in Tottenham?
Fire doors in Tottenham 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Tottenham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For residential buildings in Tottenham 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 Tottenham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Tottenham in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Edmonton. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Tottenham?
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.
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.
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.
