Flat entrance fire doors in Canary Wharf, done to the evidence
Our flat entrance fire doors service in Canary Wharf is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Canary Wharf protect escape routes in converted flats, restaurants and shared houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Flat entrance door programmes in Canary Wharf are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Canary Wharf, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
Rules and responsibilities in Canary Wharf
In Canary Wharf, 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 Canary Wharf 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.

Questions from Canary Wharf
Do you work in Canary Wharf?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Canary Wharf and the surrounding area, including Bow and Canning Town. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Canary Wharf?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
Can a flat door have a letterbox?
Only if the letterplate is covered by the doorset's test evidence. A standard letterplate cut into a fire door breaks the rating. Many managing agents choose external post boxes instead.
