Fire door repairs in Harpenden
Houses split into flats, small blocks and the odd school. Short jobs suit us here.
Get a priceHarpenden is one of the nearest places we work to Luton. The crew can be on site in a short drive, which changes how we price small jobs.
Elsewhere, four doors would barely justify a day. Here they can.
Houses turned into flats
Harpenden has a lot of large older houses. Plenty have been divided into flats over the years, and that is where fire door faults tend to sit.
The front door of each flat is usually the weak spot. It may be an old panelled door that was fine as a house door and was never a fire door at all.
If that is what you have, the answer is not a repair. A panelled door cannot be made to hold fire back. We advise a plain certified doorset, and we will say so before you pay for work that will not pass.
Where the doors are proper fire doors that have worn, we fix the usual things. Closers, seals and the screws in the hinges.
Small blocks
A purpose-built block of six or eight flats is one of the easiest jobs we do. Same doors, same faults, one visit.
In Luton we repaired 34 doors across a block of flats, and it went quickly because the doors matched. A block like that in Harpenden should go the same way.
Schools
There are schools in and around Harpenden. If you manage one, school holidays are the time to book us. A carpenter on a corridor in term time is a nuisance for everybody.
Questions we get asked
Is one door worth a visit?
Yes, if it sits alongside other jobs. Send us what you have and we will tell you how we would group it.
My flat front door has panels. Can it be repaired?
No. It needs replacing with a plain certified doorset.
Send it with the postcode and we will price it one door at a time.
