Fire door repairs and remedial works for Thamesmead buildings
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Thamesmead (SE28 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Thamesmead range from converted flats to schools and hotels. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Thamesmead building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Thamesmead can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
What you get:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Thamesmead?
In Thamesmead, 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 Thamesmead 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.

Questions from Thamesmead
Do you work in Thamesmead?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Thamesmead and the surrounding area, including Barking and Welling. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Thamesmead building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
