Fire door repairs in Bletchley
Flats and shared houses near the railway, and the doors that go with them.
Get a priceBletchley is known for Bletchley Park and the wartime codebreakers. It is also a railway junction, and places like that have a lot of flats and shared houses.
The doors in them are used at all hours by people in a hurry.
Shared houses
A house of multiple occupation has a front door, a landing and a door to each room. In a layout built to be fire safe, those room doors are what holds smoke off the stairs for long enough.
On a failed report they turn up for the same reasons again and again. A room has been wedged open. A lock has been swapped and the door trimmed to fit it. Someone shaved the bottom to clear a new carpet.
We repair them where they hang. New seals, a closer that actually latches, a hinge that holds. Tenants come and go, so before we start we ask which rooms are free.
Smoke seals
We have done smoke seals on a block of flats in Stevenage. The strip was missing from some doors and painted over on others, and once we had the whole list it was a cheap job to clear.
If your report says seals, send it exactly as it is and we will price each door.
Blocks of flats
When a block is over 11 metres and has two or more homes, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 say the communal fire doors must be checked at least every three months. Flat entrance doors get a check at least once a year, as far as the responsible person can manage, and records are kept.
Those checks find faults. We put them right and photograph the finished doors for your file.
Practical
Bletchley is in the Milton Keynes City Council area and the fire service is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. We drive from Luton and book the work into full days.
Questions we get asked
Do room doors in a shared house need to be fire doors?
It depends on the layout and what the assessment says. Ask your assessor, then send us the doors that failed.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. Tell us which rooms are empty and which have to stay open.
Send the list with the postcode. We will come back with a price for each door.
