Canning Town has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, clinics and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

What does third-party certification mean?
Third-party certification means an independent body has checked the product's test evidence and audits the factory that makes it. Certified products carry a label or plug on the door edge and a certificate you can check. Buyers often look for schemes such as BWF Certifire or BM TRADA Q-Mark when choosing products. Our guide to certified doorsets explains how to read the label and certificate.
What you get:
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
Which fire door rules apply in Canning Town?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Canning Town 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Canning Town 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.
Who needs certified fire doorsets in Canning Town?

Questions
Do you work in Canning Town?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in Canning Town and the surrounding area, including Stratford and Bow. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Canning Town?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
Do doorsets come painted?
They can be supplied primed, factory painted, veneered, laminated or with a composite skin, depending on the product. Factory finishes avoid painting over seals and labels on site.
