Fire Door Installation for Southwark Property

Southwark landlords and letting agents face their own version of London’s licensing maze, and Georgian terraces in Camberwell, Bermondsey warehouse conversions and Peckham’s Victorian streets — flat refurbishments and leak reinstatement in one of London’s most varied housing stocks.

Our fire door installation teams cover every Southwark postcode — SE1, SE5, SE15 and SE16 — working to the borough’s published standards rather than a generic checklist, and liaising with local building control and HMO officers where the works call for it.

Across the Southwark portfolios we look after, the recurring need is plain: Flat Refurbishment, Leak Damage Repair, Property Refurbishment. We deliver the physical works and the documentation pack the council expects, so an inspection closes first time.

FD30 and FD60 Doorsets, Properly Specified

FD30 doors resist fire for 30 minutes and are the standard requirement for HMO bedroom and kitchen doors opening onto escape routes; FD60 doors give 60 minutes and appear in higher-risk locations such as doors to plant rooms or between commercial and residential parts of a building. The rating belongs to the whole assembly — leaf, frame, hinges, intumescent strips, seals and glazing — not the leaf alone. We install certified doorsets or certificated leaf-and-frame combinations, never an unrated door with strips added as decoration. Ironmongery is fire-rated and UKCA or CE marked: three hinges minimum, closers to BS EN 1154, and intumescent protection to locks and latches. Where a period property deserves it, we fit fire doors with traditional panel profiles so compliance does not cost the building its character.

Why Installation Is Everything

A fire door hung with sloppy gaps is worthless — smoke and flame pass straight around it. The workmanship tolerances are precise: a consistent 2–4 millimetre gap between leaf and frame at the head and sides, and gaps over 4 millimetres are a routine inspection failure. The threshold gap should generally not exceed 8–10 millimetres, or around 3 millimetres where cold smoke sealing is required. Our installers work to BS 8214 guidance: frames packed and fixed correctly, intumescent strips and cold smoke seals continuous and unpainted, closers adjusted so the door fully self-closes onto the latch from any angle, and no wedges, broken closers or trimmed-down leaves left behind. Each fitted door is gap-gauged and photographed before we sign it off.

Fire Door Surveys for HMOs and Blocks

Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons in residential buildings over 11 metres must check flat entrance doors at least annually and communal fire doors every three months. In licensed HMOs, councils inspect fire doors as a matter of routine, and damaged or wedged-open doors are among the most common licensing defects. We carry out fire door surveys across London portfolios: every door checked for certification evidence, gaps, seals, closers, hinges and glazing, with a photographic report grading each door as compliant, repairable or for replacement. Repair is often legitimate — replacing seals, adjusting closers, re-hanging a leaf — and far cheaper than wholesale replacement. The report gives landlords and agents a costed, prioritised plan rather than a scare list.
