Getting fire door replacement right in Chiswick
Our fire door replacement service in Chiswick is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Chiswick, fire door work covers everything from care homes to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Chiswick building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Chiswick building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
Each installation includes:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
What the rules say for Chiswick
In Chiswick, 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 Chiswick 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.
