Flat entrance fire doors in Greenwich

Flat entrance fire doors in Greenwich: what's involved

If you need flat entrance fire doors in Greenwich, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Greenwich, fire door work covers everything from clinics to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In a block of flats in Greenwich, 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. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Greenwich, 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.

What you get:

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

What the rules say for Greenwich

In Greenwich, 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 Greenwich 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.
