Fire exit doors in Felling, done to the evidence
When you book fire exit doors in Felling, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Felling protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Felling each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Felling, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
Fire door law for Felling properties
England's framework applies in Felling. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Felling, 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.
