Fire door replacement in Romford, done to the evidence
Our fire door replacement service covers Romford 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.
Romford has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, student accommodation and clinics, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Romford building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Romford opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
