Fire door replacement: our service in New Malden
Our fire door replacement service covers New Malden 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.
Around New Malden, shared houses, hotels and clinics 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 your New Malden building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your New Malden 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.
What you get:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Which fire door rules apply in New Malden?
The rules that apply to fire doors in New Malden are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in New Malden sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a New Malden block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Which buildings in New Malden need fire door replacement?

In New Malden, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
