Installation of Fire Doors in Croydon

If you’re a landlord, property owner or facilities manager, you have a legal obligation to ensure your fire doors are properly installed, regularly maintained and fully compliant with UK fire safety regulations.

At Summit Environmental, we specialise in the installation and inspection of fire doors in Croydon and the surrounding areas. Our team helps you stay compliant with fire safety laws while protecting the people and properties in your care.

Why Fire Doors Matter

Fire doors are vital components of a building’s passive fire protection system. When installed and maintained correctly, they:

  • Delay the spread of fire and smoke, allowing time for safe evacuation
  • Protect key escape routes such as hallways, staircases and communal areas
  • Self-close effectively to restore fire barriers after use
  • Withstand fire for a minimum of 30 minutes (FD30-rated and beyond)

A faulty or non-compliant fire door can fail catastrophically in an emergency, putting lives at risk and exposing you to legal liability. That’s why regular inspections and professional servicing are essential.

Our Fire Door Inspection Services

Our certified fire door assessors carry out thorough checks to ensure every door meets current standards. We inspect:

  • Door gaps, frame alignment and intumescent/smoke seals
  • Door closers and self-latching mechanisms
  • Signs of damage, wear or unauthorised alterations
  • Certification labels and installation accuracy

We provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations, helping you take swift steps toward full compliance with fire safety legislation.

How Fire Doors Protect Your Property

Fire doors are a crucial line of defence in the event of a fire. They’re specifically engineered to slow the spread of flames and toxic smoke, giving occupants vital time to evacuate and emergency services the time they need to respond. But not all fire doors are created equal, their effectiveness depends on their fire resistance rating.

Fire Door Ratings Explained

Different buildings require different levels of fire protection. Here’s a quick guide to the most common fire door ratings:

  • FD30 – Protects against fire for up to 30 minutes; ideal for residential buildings, small offices and shared housing
  • FD60 – Offers 60 minutes of resistance; suitable for larger commercial premises and public buildings
  • FD90 & FD120 – Withstand fire for 90–120 minutes; used in high-risk environments like hospitals, data centres and transport facilities

Many doors are also equipped with intumescent and smoke seals, giving them an FDS rating (e.g., FDS30 or FDS60). These seals expand under heat to block smoke and flames from spreading into escape routes.

Our Services Include:

  • Comprehensive on-site assessments – Checking door condition, alignment, seals, hardware and installation standards
  • Clear, jargon-free reports – Outlining any defects and recommended remedial actions
  • Expert advice on compliance – Helping you stay aligned with the latest UK fire safety legislation
  • Support for all property types – From small residential blocks to large-scale commercial premises
