Fire door replacement for Hounslow buildings
Our fire door replacement service in Hounslow is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Hounslow has a broad mix of buildings, including mixed-use office buildings, purpose-built blocks of flats and shared houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Hounslow building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Hounslow building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Fire door law for Hounslow properties
Fire doors in Hounslow fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. 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.
For residential buildings in Hounslow above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. 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.

Questions from Hounslow
Is Hounslow within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hounslow in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Isleworth. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
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.
