Fire door replacement in Greenwich: what's involved
If you need fire door replacement in Greenwich, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Greenwich range from converted flats to care homes and clinics. 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 Greenwich opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Greenwich 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
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Greenwich?
Fire doors in Greenwich fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For residential buildings in Greenwich above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Do you cover SE10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Greenwich including SE10, and nearby towns such as Blackheath and Canary Wharf. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Greenwich 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.
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.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
