Fire door replacement in City of Westminster, done to the evidence
We provide fire door replacement in City of Westminster (SW1E and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in City of Westminster protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, schools and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your City of Westminster building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a City of Westminster opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Which fire door rules apply in City of Westminster?
The rules that apply to fire doors in City of Westminster 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in City of Westminster sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a City of Westminster 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.

Common questions
Is City of Westminster within your coverage area?
It is. We cover City of Westminster in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Pimlico. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my City of Westminster 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.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
