Fire door ironmongery for Peckham buildings
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Peckham and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Peckham, 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.
Signage for fire doors in Peckham 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 Peckham 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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
What the rules say for Peckham
Fire doors in Peckham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. Enforcement of fire safety law in Peckham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For residential buildings in Peckham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Do fire doors need signs?

Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
