Fire door repairs and remedial works in Potters Bar, done to the evidence
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Potters Bar, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Potters Bar protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, schools and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Potters Bar building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Potters Bar 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Fire door law for Potters Bar properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Potters Bar are England's. 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 Potters Bar 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. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
