Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Dagenham
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Dagenham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Dagenham protect escape routes in converted flats, mixed-use office buildings and shared houses 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 Dagenham building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Dagenham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
Rules and responsibilities in Dagenham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Dagenham 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Dagenham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Dagenham 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 Dagenham
Do you work in Dagenham?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Dagenham and the surrounding area, including Becontree and Romford. 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.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
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.
