What steel fire doors in Peckham should include
From the SE15 postcode district outwards, we take on steel fire doors across Peckham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Peckham has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, purpose-built blocks of flats and converted flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Peckham often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Peckham we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
Each installation includes:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Fire door law for Peckham properties
In Peckham, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Peckham 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.
