Fire door surveys for Tower Hamlets buildings
The highest concentration of tall residential buildings in the country around Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs, a large proportion of it higher-risk, set against dense Victorian and council stock in Bethnal Green, Bow and Whitechapel.
We inspect every communal and flat entrance door against BS 8214 and hand back a numbered, photographed register with a pass, fail or advisory outcome for each one, plus a defect schedule a contractor can price without a second visit.
Full assembly inspection
Leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closers, glazing and ironmongery, not just a glance at the door face.
Gap and tolerance measurement
Head, jambs and threshold measured and recorded, with the reading noted against every door.
Regulation 10 evidence
Documentation you can rely on for the quarterly communal and annual flat entrance door checks in buildings above 11 metres.
We don’t sell doors
Survey work only, so there is no incentive to fail a door we would profit from replacing.

Fire safety enforcement in Tower Hamlets
Enforcement of the Fire Safety Order here sits with London Fire Brigade, which audits premises and communal areas and can issue informal notification letters, enforcement notices or, in serious cases, prohibition notices restricting use of the building.
The council’s housing team also has powers over hazards in residential property under the Housing Act 2004, and licences HMOs in the area. If you have received correspondence from either, send it to us with your quote request and we will work to the deadline in it.
Information for guidance only. We are not affiliated with London Fire Brigade or Tower Hamlets Council.
Had a letter or a notice?
Enforcement work is prioritised. Tell us the deadline when you get in touch and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can meet it before you commit to anything.
