Fire door repairs in Chesham
When the council or a landlord hands you a list of door faults.
Get a priceIf you are writing to us from Chesham, you probably have a list in your hand.
It might come from a landlord, an insurer, an assessor or the council. Either way, the doors on it need to be fixed and signed off.
Shared houses
Buckinghamshire Council licenses houses in multiple occupation with five or more people from two or more households. That includes houses in Chesham.
A licensed house is inspected, and the fire doors are part of that. Bedroom doors take the worst of it. They get kicked and slammed, and the closer is the first thing a tenant removes.
We repair bedroom doors in the same visit. Closers refitted. Holes plugged. Seals put back.
Holes
Two small holes in the face of a door, from a bolt or a hook, are a common sight. One often still shows raw timber.
A hole that goes through the face is a small path for smoke and fire through the thickest part of the door. We plug each one with hardwood, glue it and cut it flush. Filler is not an answer.
Small blocks
A converted house with a few flats needs the same checks as a big block, only on fewer doors. If the building is over 11 metres, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add a timetable of checks.
If it is below that, the duty to keep doors working still stands.
Order of a visit
We read your list. We check each door against it. We fix what is on the list and we tell you about anything else we spot.
That second part is important. We do not start work on doors you did not ask about. We tell you and you decide.

Questions we get asked
Can you repair a door the tenant is still using?
Yes, with access arranged in advance. A door is usually out of action for a short time.
Do you give a certificate?
We give a completion list with photos. Where a job needs a third-party certificate, our BM TRADA-certificated contractors carry it out.
Send it with the postcode and we will come back with a fixed price per door.
