Fire Door Services in North London

Fire door inspection, installation and maintenance for converted terraces, HMOs, student housing, care homes and shops across North London.

Fire Doors for North London Homes

Much of North London is made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, from Highbury and Crouch End to Muswell Hill and Kentish Town. Many of them have been divided into flats or let as shared houses, and over the years the doors inside have often been changed, trimmed or removed.

Access Fire Doors inspects, repairs and replaces fire doors in these homes, from single converted houses to purpose-built blocks and care homes. We are FIRAS certified, based in Wymondham, Norfolk, and North London is one of the areas we cover in the capital.

Fire Doors in Converted Houses

In a house converted into flats, the entrance door to each flat and any doors onto the shared stair protect the only escape route. Older conversions often have ordinary doors on flat entrances, no self-closers and wide gaps. Borough councils license HMOs, some run additional schemes covering smaller shared houses, and licence conditions normally cover fire safety measures such as fire doors.

From Camden to Enfield, fire doors are particularly important in:

  • Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats
  • HMOs and shared houses
  • Student accommodation near the universities
  • Care homes and supported living
  • Shops and restaurants with flats above
  • Schools and community buildings

Our North London Fire Door Services

Fire Door Inspections

We check each door's certification, leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, latch and glazing, and photograph every door we inspect. For converted houses, we can inspect the common parts and each flat entrance door in one visit where access is arranged.

Fire Door Installation

Unrated flat entrance doors and doors onto shared stairs can be replaced with certified FD30 or FD60 doorsets, fitted by our NVQ Level 3 qualified installers. We can supply styles that suit a Victorian or Edwardian hallway.

Maintenance and Repairs

We offer repair visits for landlords, managing agents and care providers between inspections, adjusting closers, renewing seals and rehanging doors that have dropped or warped.

Fire Door FAQs: North London

Do flat entrance doors in North London house conversions need to be fire doors?

In most converted houses, yes. The entrance door to each flat opens onto the shared escape route, so it is normally expected to be a self-closing fire door, commonly FD30S. The exact standard depends on the building and its fire risk assessment.

Do HMOs in North London need a licence?

Any HMO with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory licence, and several North London boroughs also run additional licensing schemes for smaller HMOs. Licence conditions normally include fire safety measures such as fire doors, so check with your borough council.

Do I need fire doors in my North London property?

If your North London property is an HMO, a block of flats, a care home, a hotel or a commercial building, fire doors are almost certainly part of its fire strategy, and the responsible person must keep them in working order under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Houses of three or more storeys and conversions built under Building Regulations may also require them.

How much does a fire door inspection cost in North London?

The cost depends on the number of doors and the type of property. Contact Access Fire Doors for a free, no-obligation quote for your North London property. Our inspections are FIRAS certified and give you the evidence insurers and licensing officers ask for.
