Fire door replacement in Tottenham: what's involved
From the N17 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Tottenham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Tottenham has a broad mix of buildings, including clinics, mixed-use office buildings and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Tottenham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Tottenham 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Tottenham
In Tottenham, 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 Tottenham 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Tottenham
From HMOs to schools, the requirement for fire door replacement in Tottenham 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.

Questions from Tottenham
Do you cover N17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Tottenham including N17, and nearby towns such as Edmonton and Wood Green. 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.
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.
