Why fire doors matter in Canary Wharf and East London
Canary Wharf and Docklands are dense with tall residential towers, commercial headquarters and buildings over 11 metres. In those premises the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require regular Regulation 10 fire door checks: quarterly inspections of communal fire doors and best endeavours to inspect flat entrance doors at least once a year.
London Fire Brigade expects responsible persons to show that fire doors are maintained. A current fire door compliance Canary Wharf report supports your fire risk assessment, insurance file and, where relevant, the building safety case.
Common defects we find on East London sites include:
- Missing, damaged or painted intumescent and smoke seals
- Doors that do not self-close or latch
- Excessive gaps at the head, sides or threshold
- Incorrect hinges, closers or glazing
- Flat entrance doors altered by residents
- Missing “Fire door keep shut” signage
An independent FD30 fire door inspection London or FD60 survey identifies those faults before they become an enforcement or insurance problem.
