What fire door replacement in Highbury should include
Looking for fire door replacement in Highbury? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Highbury and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Highbury has a broad mix of buildings, including mixed-use office buildings, converted flats and hotels, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Highbury building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Highbury 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
The regulations behind fire doors in Highbury
England's framework applies in Highbury. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Highbury sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Highbury, 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.
