We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Hornchurch (RM12 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Hornchurch has a broad mix of buildings, including mixed-use office buildings, shared houses and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Many repairs in Hornchurch can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Hornchurch building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
Fire door law for Hornchurch properties
England's framework applies in Hornchurch. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hornchurch, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in blocks of flats or offices, and sometimes care homes.

Common questions
Do you cover RM12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hornchurch including RM12, and nearby towns such as Romford and Dagenham. 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.
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.
