Fire door repairs in Radlett
Large older houses made into flats, and blocks where people stay for years.
Get a priceRadlett is in Hertsmere, a few miles south of St Albans. It has a railway station and plenty of big old houses.
A few of those houses have been split into flats. Where that's been done years ago, the doors often haven't been looked at since.
Doors people have lived with
When someone lives in a flat for years, they get used to a door that sticks. They stop mentioning it. The closer's stiff, the latch scrapes, there's a gap you could post a letter through.
Then an inspector comes and the door shows up with three faults on one line.
We deal with those in one visit. New seals, the closer set up properly, hinge screws replaced, then shut it and check the latch catches.
Heavy doors, older people
Fire doors are built heavy on purpose. Put a stiff closer on one, though, and someone with a walking frame may not get through it at all.
We set closers so the door still latches but doesn't take a fight to open. If that isn't possible with the door you have, your fire risk assessor may suggest another arrangement. That's their call, not ours, and once they've made it we'll fit what's needed.
Converted houses
Look at the front door of each flat in a converted house. If it has panels in it, it isn't a fire door whatever it says on the paperwork, because panels void the rating. A plain certified doorset is what goes in.
Questions we get asked
Can you lighten a fire door?
Not by cutting anything off it. We can set the closer so it's easier to open.
Do you work in sheltered housing?
Yes, with notice. Tell us when residents are in and we'll plan around them.
