Flat entrance fire doors in Tottenham, done to the evidence
From the N17 postcode district outwards, we take on flat entrance fire doors across Tottenham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Tottenham, shared houses, schools and purpose-built blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
In a block of flats in Tottenham, 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 Tottenham, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
The regulations behind fire doors in Tottenham
England's framework applies in Tottenham. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Tottenham, 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 cover N17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Tottenham including N17, and nearby towns such as Edmonton and Wood Green. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Tottenham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can a flat door have a letterbox?
Only if the letterplate is covered by the doorset's test evidence. A standard letterplate cut into a fire door breaks the rating. Many managing agents choose external post boxes instead.
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.
