Fire door inspection in Bexleyheath
Broadway flats, estate blocks and offices, in the London Borough of Bexley.
Get a priceBexleyheath is in London. That is the first thing that sets it apart from Dartford.
The borough is Bexley, and fire safety here falls to the London Fire Brigade rather than Kent. The rules in the law are the same. The people who come knocking are not.
If you are used to Kent, it is worth knowing that a London fire safety officer may ask for the fire risk assessment and door records straight away.
The Broadway
The Broadway runs through the middle of town with shops down both sides. Above many of them there are flats or offices.
These have the problem we see above every row of shops. The only stairs go up from a door at street level, and that door has had decades of heavy use.
We check it from both sides. We also look at the doors between the stairs and the upper landings, and at the flat doors if the building is residential.
Blocks on the estates
Bexleyheath also has a lot of purpose-built blocks of flats from the middle of the last century. Many are three or four storeys, some higher.
Older doors in these blocks are often not certified at all. Others were replaced in a round of works and carry a label. We separate them in the report so you know which is which.
For taller blocks the regulations set out in our page on tall blocks will apply.
Offices and surgeries
Small offices, dental and medical practices and a few care homes have fire doors along corridors and outside the rooms where people sleep or wait.
We inspected 16 doors across three homecare properties in Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley. People live and work in a care setting, so they come first and we fit round them.
Getting here
Bexleyheath is the nearest of our Kent-side towns to central London, and only a few miles from Dartford. From Luton we allow about an hour and a quarter. Another job nearby usually goes in the same day.
