Fire door ironmongery in Notting Hill: what's involved
Our fire door ironmongery service in Notting Hill is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Notting Hill, converted flats, student accommodation and restaurants 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.
We supply ironmongery for Notting Hill fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Notting Hill 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.
What you get:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
The regulations behind fire doors in Notting Hill
England's framework applies in Notting Hill. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Notting Hill, 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.

How quickly can you survey in Notting Hill?
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.
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.
