Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Barnet
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Barnet, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Barnet protect escape routes in converted flats, care homes and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Barnet building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Barnet can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
What the rules say for Barnet
Fire doors in Barnet fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For residential buildings in Barnet above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in care homes or HMOs, and sometimes schools. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Barnet to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Do you work in Barnet?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Barnet and the surrounding area, including Hadley Wood and Potters Bar. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can large gaps around a fire door be fixed?
Sometimes. Small gap problems can often be corrected by adjusting hinges or approved edge repairs. Gaps far beyond the certification usually mean the door or frame must be replaced.
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.
