Getting fire exit doors right in Woodford Green
Our fire exit doors service covers Woodford Green 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 Woodford Green protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, purpose-built blocks of flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Before quoting for an exit door in Woodford Green, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Woodford Green 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Commissioning and handover
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
The regulations behind fire doors in Woodford Green
The rules that apply to fire doors in Woodford Green are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in Woodford Green sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Woodford Green block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you cover IG8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Woodford Green including IG8, and nearby towns such as Chingford and Walthamstow. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Woodford Green 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.
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.
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.
