Fire door repairs and remedial works in City of Westminster

Fire door repairs and remedial works for City of Westminster buildings

Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers City of Westminster and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Buildings in and around City of Westminster range from hotels to mixed-use office buildings and clinics. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Send us the inspection report for your City of Westminster building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your City of Westminster building first and return evidence against each action.

What can be repaired?

Most defects found on inspection are repairable: replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals, re-fixing or replacing hinges and missing screws, replacing or adjusting closers, fixing latches and keeps, fitting intumescent pads behind hinges and locks, re-glazing with the correct system and correcting minor gap issues where the manufacturer's guidance allows. Some repairs, such as hardwood edge repairs, must follow the manufacturer's method to stay within the evidence.

As standard, the work covers:

• Closer replacement and adjustment
• Re-glazing to the original system
• Hinge, screw and latch repairs
• Seal, strip and pad replacement

Fire door law for City of Westminster properties

In City of Westminster, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

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 City of Westminster 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.
