Many London buildings are mixed use, with flats above shops and offices, where the stair door protecting the flats is often the weakest point. Where a London building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Questions from London clients

Do signs go on both sides of the door?

Self-closing fire doors are generally signed on both faces. Cupboard and riser doors are usually signed on the outside only.

Do all fire doors need a sign?

Most do. Self-closing fire doors usually need fire door keep shut signs; doors to cupboards and risers usually need keep locked shut; doors on hold-open devices need automatic fire door signs. Some doors, such as flat entrance doors and hotel bedroom doors, are commonly treated differently.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in London?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. London is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in London?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
