Fire exit doors in Camden Town

Fire exit doors in Camden Town, done to the evidence

Our fire exit doors service covers Camden Town and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Camden Town, care homes, converted flats and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Before quoting for an exit door in Camden Town, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Camden Town can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.

Panic bars or emergency hardware?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.

Each installation includes:

• Weather and threshold detailing
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
• Commissioning and handover
• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware

Fire door law for Camden Town properties

England's framework applies in Camden Town. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Camden Town sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Camden Town, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
