Flat entrance fire doors in Morden

Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Morden

We provide flat entrance fire doors in Morden (SM4 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Morden has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, restaurants and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Flat entrance door programmes in Morden 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 Morden, 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.

Each installation includes:

• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
• Self-closer set to close and latch

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Which buildings in Morden need flat entrance fire doors?

The need for flat entrance fire doors usually arises in converted houses split into flats or purpose-built blocks of flats, and sometimes flats above shops. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Morden to keep escape routes protected throughout.
