Fire door replacement in Ilford: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Ilford, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Ilford protect escape routes in converted flats, shared houses and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We never leave a Ilford opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Ilford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
What you get:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Ilford
England's framework applies in Ilford. 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 Ilford, 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.
