Flat entrance fire doors in Wood Green, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wood Green, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Wood Green has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, hotels and mixed-use office buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Flat entrance door programmes in Wood Green 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 Wood Green, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
Which fire door rules apply in Wood Green?
Fire doors in Wood Green fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. Enforcement of fire safety law in Wood Green sits with the London Fire Brigade.

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.
Where flat entrance fire doors fit in Wood Green
The need for flat entrance fire doors usually arises in purpose-built blocks of flats or sheltered housing, and sometimes converted houses split into flats. 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 Wood Green to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Do you cover N22 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wood Green including N22, and nearby towns such as Muswell Hill and Tottenham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wood Green 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.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
