Fire door repairs and remedial works in Northolt, done to the evidence
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Northolt (UB5 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Northolt, mixed-use office buildings, care homes 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.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Northolt building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Northolt 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
Fire door law for Northolt properties
England's framework applies in Northolt. 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 Northolt, 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.

Questions from Northolt
Is Northolt within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Northolt in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Greenford. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
