What fire door ironmongery in Fulham should include
From the SW6 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Fulham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Fulham range from converted flats to hotels and schools. 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 Fulham we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Fulham buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
What you get:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
What the rules say for Fulham
In Fulham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Fulham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Do you cover SW6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Fulham including SW6, and nearby towns such as Chelsea and Putney. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Fulham 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.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
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.
