Fire door replacement in Woodford Green

Getting fire door replacement right in Woodford Green

From the IG8 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Woodford Green for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Woodford Green has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, converted flats and shared houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

If your Woodford Green building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Woodford Green 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:

• Certified leaf or full doorset
• Frame repair or replacement where needed
• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Removal and disposal of the old door
