What fire door replacement in Holloway should include
We provide fire door replacement in Holloway (N7 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Holloway, schools, hotels and purpose-built blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If a door in your Holloway building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Holloway building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement

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.

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.
