Fire door replacement: our service in Coulsdon
From the CR5 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Coulsdon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Coulsdon range from schools to student accommodation and converted flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Coulsdon building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Coulsdon building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Coulsdon
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coulsdon 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Coulsdon 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.
Which buildings in Coulsdon need fire door replacement?
Typical settings for fire door replacement include HMOs, offices and care homes. In Coulsdon, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
