Fire door replacement: our service in South Croydon
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in South Croydon, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around South Croydon range from shared houses to purpose-built blocks of flats and restaurants. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your South Croydon building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your South Croydon 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
What the rules say for South Croydon
The rules that apply to fire doors in South Croydon 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a South Croydon 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.
Buildings and duty holders in South Croydon
Typical settings for fire door replacement include offices, blocks of flats and schools. In South Croydon, 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.

Questions
Do you cover CR2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover South Croydon including CR2, and nearby towns such as Croydon and Purley. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
