Fire door replacement: our service in Dagenham
If you need fire door replacement in Dagenham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Dagenham range from student accommodation to schools and purpose-built blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We never leave a Dagenham opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Dagenham 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:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Rules and responsibilities in Dagenham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Dagenham 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 Dagenham 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.
