The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Hemel Hempstead block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis.

Questions from Hemel Hempstead
Do you work in Hemel Hempstead?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding area, including Berkhamsted and St Albans. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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 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.
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.
