We provide fire door ironmongery in Chapeltown (S35 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Chapeltown we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Chapeltown fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
The regulations behind fire doors in Chapeltown
The rules that apply to fire doors in Chapeltown are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Chapeltown block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
