Flat entrance fire doors in Camden Town

Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Camden Town

When you book flat entrance fire doors in Camden Town, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Camden Town has a broad mix of buildings, including student accommodation, converted flats and purpose-built blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Camden Town, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. In a block of flats in Camden Town, each flat's front door is what keeps smoke out of the shared corridor, which is why a working closer matters as much as the door.

What goes into a compliant flat entrance doorset?

We fit certified FD30S doorsets with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that closes and latches the door from any angle, fire-tested hinges and a lock or latch covered by the certification. Door viewers, spy holes, letterplates, numerals and security hardware can only be fitted if they are part of the doorset's evidence. Where residents want a letterplate, we use one that is covered by the test evidence or recommend a separate post box.

Each installation includes:

• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite

Fire door law for Camden Town properties

In Camden Town, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

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 Camden Town 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.

In Camden Town, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
