Fire exit doors in Wallington, SM6

Fire exit doors: our service in Wallington

If you need fire exit doors in Wallington, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Wallington protect escape routes in hotels, mixed-use office buildings and shared houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

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.

Each installation includes:

• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• Outside access devices and alarmed options
• Commissioning and handover
• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware

What the rules say for Wallington

England's framework applies in Wallington. 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 Wallington, 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.
