Fire door ironmongery in Welling, done to the evidence
From the DA16 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Welling for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Welling protect escape routes in converted flats, mixed-use office buildings and shared houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Welling fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Welling 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
What the rules say for Welling
In Welling, 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Welling sits with the London Fire Brigade.
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 Welling 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.

Common questions
Do you cover DA16 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Welling including DA16, and nearby towns such as Bexley and Eltham. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Welling?
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.
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.
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.
