Fire door ironmongery for Staines buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Staines, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Staines protect escape routes in industrial estates, HMOs and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Staines we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Staines 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:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Fire door law for Staines properties
In Staines, 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.
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 Staines 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 TW18 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Staines including TW18, and nearby towns such as Egham and Ashford (Surrey). The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
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.
