Fire door ironmongery in Brentwood, done to the evidence
If you need fire door ironmongery in Brentwood, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Brentwood range from houses with integral garages to care homes and low-rise blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Brentwood we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Brentwood buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
Fire door law for Brentwood properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Brentwood are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Brentwood block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Brentwood
Do you work in Brentwood?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Brentwood and the surrounding area, including Billericay and Hornchurch. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Brentwood 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.
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.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
