Fire door replacement in Richmond, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Richmond, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Richmond range from hotels to care homes and purpose-built blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If a door in your Richmond building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Richmond building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Rules and responsibilities in Richmond
In Richmond, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Richmond building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Where fire door replacement fit in Richmond
From care homes to HMOs, the requirement for fire door replacement in Richmond comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Richmond within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Richmond in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Isleworth. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Richmond?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
