Fire exit doors in Holloway

What fire exit doors in Holloway should include

From the N7 postcode district outwards, we take on fire exit doors across Holloway for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Fire doors in Holloway protect escape routes in hotels, shared houses and clinics alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Exit doors in Holloway can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Holloway each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.

Is every fire exit door a fire door?

Not necessarily. A final exit door leading straight outside often does not need fire resistance, but it must open easily in the direction of escape and be secure the rest of the time. If the exit door also sits in a wall that the fire strategy requires to resist fire, it needs to be a certified fire doorset as well. We check which applies before quoting, so you do not pay for fire resistance you do not need, or miss it where you do.

As standard, the work covers:

• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• Commissioning and handover
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required

Which fire door rules apply in Holloway?

Fire doors in Holloway fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For residential buildings in Holloway above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
