In and around Battersea, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to restaurants. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Battersea fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Battersea 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.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
What the rules say for Battersea
England's framework applies in Battersea. 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 Battersea sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Battersea, 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 Battersea need fire door ironmongery?

Common questions
Do you cover SW11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Battersea including SW11, and nearby towns such as Chelsea and Pimlico. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Battersea 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 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.
