Fire door ironmongery for Slough buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Slough, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Slough, schools, offices and converted period houses 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.
Signage for fire doors in Slough buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Slough we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
On a typical job that means:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
The regulations behind fire doors in Slough
England's framework applies in Slough. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Slough, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover SL1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Slough including SL1, and nearby towns such as Windsor and Maidenhead. 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 fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
