Getting fire door replacement right in Hornchurch
If you need fire door replacement in Hornchurch, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Hornchurch range from restaurants 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.
If your Hornchurch building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Hornchurch 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:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
What the rules say for Hornchurch
England's framework applies in Hornchurch. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hornchurch, 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.
