Fire door repairs and remedial works for Blackheath buildings
From the SE3 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Blackheath for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Blackheath, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Many repairs in Blackheath can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Blackheath building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
Which fire door rules apply in Blackheath?
In Blackheath, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. Enforcement of fire safety law in Blackheath sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Blackheath building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions from Blackheath
Do you cover SE3 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Blackheath including SE3, and nearby towns such as Greenwich and Catford. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
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.
