Flat entrance fire doors in Harrow, HA1

Flat entrance fire doors in Harrow, done to the evidence

From the HA1 postcode district outwards, we take on flat entrance fire doors across Harrow for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Harrow has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, mixed-use office buildings and student accommodation, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Harrow, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. In a block of flats in Harrow, 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.

Who pays and who decides?

Flat entrance doors often sit on the boundary between the leaseholder's flat and the freeholder's building. Ownership depends on the lease, and leaseholder consent, landlord consent and Section 20 consultation can all come into it. We work with freeholders, managing agents, housing providers and individual leaseholders, and our responsibility guide covers the common questions.

What you get:

• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence

The regulations behind fire doors in Harrow

In Harrow, 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Harrow sits with the London Fire Brigade.

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 Harrow 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.
