Flat entrance fire doors in Mitcham

Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Mitcham

From the CR4 postcode district outwards, we take on flat entrance fire doors across Mitcham for homes, blocks and workplaces.

In and around Mitcham, fire door work covers everything from clinics to shared houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Flat entrance door programmes in Mitcham 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 Mitcham, 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Self-closer set to close and latch

Fire door law for Mitcham properties

In Mitcham, 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 Mitcham 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 Mitcham 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.
