Fire exit doors for Streatham buildings
Our fire exit doors service covers Streatham 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.
Fire doors in Streatham protect escape routes in schools, shared houses and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Streatham each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Streatham 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.
What you get:
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Commissioning and handover

Questions from Streatham
Is Streatham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Streatham in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Mitcham. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
