Fire exit doors in Hayes: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hayes, we offer fire exit doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Hayes, fire door work covers everything from schools to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Hayes each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Hayes can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
Security without blocking escape
Exit doors need to keep intruders out while letting people out in seconds. We can fit outside access devices, alarmed hardware and access control interfaces that do not stop the door being opened from inside. Any of these on a fire-rated exit door must be covered by its evidence.
On a typical job that means:
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
Which fire door rules apply in Hayes?
England's framework applies in Hayes. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hayes, 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.

Questions from Hayes
Is Hayes within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hayes in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Southall. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hayes 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.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
