What you get:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
The regulations behind fire doors in Gerrards Cross
The rules that apply to fire doors in Gerrards Cross are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Gerrards Cross block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Gerrards Cross
Is Gerrards Cross within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire and neighbouring towns such as Chalfont St Peter. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Gerrards Cross?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
