The town museum counts more than 150 listed buildings in Amersham Old Town. If your door is in one of them, replacing it can need consent from the council, so we try to repair the one that is there.
A new hinge or a refitted seal leaves the door looking as it did.
Old doors that were never fire doors
A panelled door in an old house was never tested as a fire door. A closer and a strip of seal on top do not make it one.
Where the building needs a real fire door, that means a plain certified doorset. Panels and mouldings cut into a fire door can void its rating. Your fire risk assessor decides which doors need it.
Newer buildings
Offices and flats built later usually have doors with a label on the top edge. The faults there are the plain ones, a closer, a hinge, a seal, a worn edge.
What it costs
Expect anything from £150 to £900 a door plus VAT. We drive over from Luton, because there is no office in Amersham.
Questions we get asked
Do you apply for listed building consent?
No. We tell you what we would change and you apply to the council.
