Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Mitcham
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Mitcham, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Mitcham has a broad mix of buildings, including converted flats, care homes and student accommodation, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Many repairs in Mitcham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Mitcham building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
Rules and responsibilities in Mitcham
England's framework applies in Mitcham. 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.

For blocks over 11 metres in Mitcham, 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.
