Town: Canvey Island
Postcode district: SS8
Area: Essex
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Canvey Island workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Canvey Island

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Canvey Island site?

If members of the public or people unfamiliar with the exit may use it, panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally required. Exits used only by trained staff who know the door can use emergency devices to BS EN 179. If in doubt, choose BS EN 1125.

Yes. We supply fire-resisting steel doorsets with the manufacturer's test evidence for the rating your fire strategy needs, and install them strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, including seals, gaps and approved hardware.

Can a steel door at our Canvey Island unit be security rated?

Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.
