What fire door repairs and remedial works in Richmond should include
From the TW9 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Richmond for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Richmond, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Many repairs in Richmond can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Richmond building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
Rules and responsibilities in Richmond
In Richmond, 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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond?
The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in blocks of flats or HMOs, and sometimes care homes. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Richmond to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Is Richmond within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Richmond in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Isleworth. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Richmond?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
