Fire exit doors: our service in Hounslow
Looking for fire exit doors in Hounslow? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Hounslow and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Hounslow protect escape routes in clinics, shared houses and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Hounslow each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Hounslow 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Commissioning and handover
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
The regulations behind fire doors in Hounslow
In Hounslow, 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Hounslow sits with the London Fire Brigade.
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 Hounslow 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.

Questions from Hounslow
Do you work in Hounslow?
Yes, we take on fire exit doors in Hounslow and the surrounding area, including Isleworth and Heston. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Hounslow?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
