Getting fire door replacement right in Hadley Wood
From the EN4 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Hadley Wood for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Hadley Wood has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, schools and mixed-use office buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If a door in your Hadley Wood building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Hadley Wood building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Which fire door rules apply in Hadley Wood?
In Hadley Wood, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hadley Wood building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
