What fire exit doors in Hampton should include
From the TW12 postcode district outwards, we take on fire exit doors across Hampton for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Hampton protect escape routes in purpose-built blocks of flats, schools and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Hampton each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Hampton 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Commissioning and handover
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
Fire door law for Hampton properties
In Hampton, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Hampton 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.

Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hampton building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do fire exit doors have to open outwards?
Exit doors generally open in the direction of escape, especially where many people use them. Your fire strategy or risk assessment sets the requirement for each door.
Do fire exit doors need closers?
Final exit doors often have closers for security and weather reasons. If the exit door is also a fire door, a closer is normally required to keep it shut.
