Fire door replacement: our service in Hanworth
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hanworth, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Hanworth has a broad mix of buildings, including student accommodation, purpose-built blocks of flats and converted flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Hanworth opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Hanworth building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification

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.

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.

Common questions
Do you work in Hanworth?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Hanworth and the surrounding area, including Hampton and Feltham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Hanworth?
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.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
