Flat entrance fire doors in Feltham, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Feltham, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Feltham protect escape routes in purpose-built blocks of flats, converted flats and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In a block of flats in Feltham, 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. Flat entrance door programmes in Feltham are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.
Why flat front doors matter so much
In most blocks the fire strategy relies on each flat containing a fire for long enough that other residents can stay put or leave safely. The flat entrance door is the barrier that makes that work. A door without a working closer, with a missing seal or with a non-fire-rated letterplate can let smoke into the corridor within minutes.
In England, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 asks responsible persons in residential buildings above 11 metres to use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors at least every 12 months. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; our guide to the regulations for flats sets them out.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Self-closer set to close and latch
Rules and responsibilities in Feltham
England's framework applies in Feltham. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Feltham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Feltham, 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Feltham?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Feltham and the surrounding area, including Hanworth and Ashford (Surrey). Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Feltham?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
Who is responsible for replacing flat front doors?
It depends on the lease. Sometimes the leaseholder owns the door, sometimes the freeholder does. Either way, the replacement has to meet the building's fire strategy, so we can work with whoever commissions it.
