Fire safety & locksmith services in Newham

Working in Newham

Newham has one of the largest private rented sectors in the country, and that shapes almost everything we are called out for here. Tenancy-change lock swaps, HMO licensing work, fire doors to bedrooms and kitchens, blankets fitted on walls rather than left in cupboards, and window restrictors on upper floors.

The housing is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces through East Ham, Forest Gate, Manor Park and Plaistow, a great many of them converted. Converted terraces throw up the same problems again and again: a flat entrance door that is a 1990s panel door with no rating, a cylinder sticking 8mm proud of the handle plate, and no self-closer anywhere in the building.

The Royal Docks and Canning Town are the opposite, new towers, managed communal areas and concierge entrances, where the work is closers, access control hardware and lobby equipment. And along Green Street, Barking Road and High Street North there is a dense run of small shops and restaurants, which means shutter locks, shopfront boarding and kitchen extinguishers.
