Fire door ironmongery: our service in Tottenham
We provide fire door ironmongery in Tottenham (N17 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Tottenham, fire door work covers everything from restaurants to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Tottenham 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 Tottenham 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified
Which fire door rules apply in Tottenham?
Fire doors in Tottenham 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 Tottenham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For residential buildings in Tottenham 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.
Who needs fire door ironmongery in Tottenham?
From blocks of flats to HMOs, the requirement for fire door ironmongery in Tottenham comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Yes. We cover Tottenham including N17, and nearby towns such as Edmonton and Wood Green. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Tottenham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
