Fire door replacement in Mitcham, done to the evidence
Our fire door replacement service covers Mitcham and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Mitcham range from mixed-use office buildings to hotels and restaurants. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We never leave a Mitcham opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Mitcham 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:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset

Common questions
Is Mitcham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Mitcham in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Morden. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Mitcham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
