Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Streatham
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Streatham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Streatham has a broad mix of buildings, including clinics, mixed-use office buildings and hotels, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Streatham building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Streatham 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
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
Fire door law for Streatham properties
In Streatham, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Streatham 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.
