Fire door replacement in Croydon, done to the evidence
From the CR7 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Croydon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Croydon range from converted flats to shared houses and hotels. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Croydon building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Croydon opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Which fire door rules apply in Croydon?
England's framework applies in Croydon. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Croydon, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Croydon need fire door replacement?
Typical settings for fire door replacement include HMOs, offices and care homes. In Croydon, 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.

What happens on a survey in Croydon?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
