Fire door repairs and remedial works in Kilburn, done to the evidence
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Kilburn? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Kilburn and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Kilburn, care homes, converted flats and student accommodation all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Send us the inspection report for your Kilburn building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Kilburn building first and return evidence against each action.
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:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Before-and-after photos per door
Fire door law for Kilburn properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Kilburn 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Kilburn 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
Do you work in Kilburn?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Kilburn and the surrounding area, including Cricklewood and Chalk Farm. 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.
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.
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.
