Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Fulham
From the SW6 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Fulham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fulham has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, shared houses and hotels, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Fulham building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Fulham 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.
What you get:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Before-and-after photos per door
What the rules say for Fulham
In Fulham, 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 Fulham 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 Fulham 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.
Who needs fire door repairs and remedial works in Fulham?
From blocks of flats to care homes, the requirement for fire door repairs and remedial works in Fulham comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover SW6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Fulham including SW6, and nearby towns such as Chelsea and Putney. 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.
