Professional Fire Door Installation in North London
A correctly installed fire door is an important part of a building’s passive fire protection system. Fire doors are designed to help restrict the spread of fire and smoke between different areas of a building, maintain compartmentation and help protect escape routes during an emergency. However, simply fitting a fire-rated door leaf is not enough. The door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, closer, latch, glazing and other ironmongery must be suitable for the particular fire door system and installed correctly. Our fire door installers in North London provide complete fire door solutions for landlords, homeowners, managing agents, housing providers, businesses, schools, healthcare organisations and commercial property managers.
We can assist with:
- New fire door installation
- Fire door replacement
- FD30 and FD60 doors
- Smoke-control fire doors
- Flat entrance doors
- Communal fire doors
- Commercial fire doors
- Fire door remedial works
- Fire door inspection
- Fire door maintenance
- Fire door certification
Where an existing fire door can be brought back to an acceptable condition through suitable repairs, we can also carry out remedial works rather than unnecessarily replacing the complete door.

Our Fire Door Installation Services
We provide professional fire door installation, replacement and remedial services throughout North London and North West London, supporting residential, commercial and managed properties with suitable fire door solutions.
New Fire Door Installation
We install new fire-rated door assemblies for existing buildings, refurbishment projects, property conversions and premises requiring improved passive fire protection. Depending on the required specification, the installation may include a fire-rated door leaf, fire-rated frame, intumescent seals, smoke seals, fire-rated hinges, door closer, latch or locking system, handles, fire-rated glazing, letterplate, appropriate signage, suitable fixings and compatible fire-rated ironmongery.
Fire Door Replacement
Where an existing fire door is significantly damaged, incorrectly installed or unsuitable for the required application, we can remove it and install a suitable replacement. Depending on the condition and compatibility of the existing frame, the work may involve replacing only the door leaf or installing a complete new fire-rated doorset, including the frame and associated components.
Fire Door Remedial Works
Not every defective fire door requires complete replacement. Where appropriate, our team can carry out professional fire door remedial works to correct identified defects and improve the condition, operation and performance of the existing door.
Fire door remedial works may include adjusting excessive perimeter gaps, correcting threshold gaps, replacing damaged or missing intumescent strips, installing or replacing cold smoke seals, replacing unsuitable hinges, adjusting door closers, installing new self-closing devices, correcting latch alignment, repairing minor frame defects, completing suitable door edge repairs, re-lipping where permitted by the door specification, replacing compatible fire-rated ironmongery and adjusting doors that do not close correctly.
Once the remedial works have been completed, the fire door can be checked again and relevant documentation can be provided according to the scope of the work carried out.

Different buildings require different types of fire doors.
We install a range of fire door systems according to the property, door location and required fire performance.
FD30 Fire Doors, FD30S Fire Doors, FD60 Fire Doors, FD60S Fire Doors, Flat Entrance Fire Doors, Communal Fire Doors, Internal Fire Doors, Fire-Rated External Doors, Glazed Fire Doors, Timber Fire Doors, Composite Fire Doors, Single and Double Fire Doors

- Intumescent Strips
- Cold Smoke Seals
- Self-Closing Device
- Fire-Rated Ironmongery

Fire Door Repair or Replacement – Which Do You Need?
A full replacement is not always necessary. Minor defects can often be corrected through professional fire door remedial works, while more serious damage may require complete replacement.
Fire Door Repair May Be Suitable For | Fire Door Replacement May Be Required For |
Minor alignment problems | Significant door leaf damage |
Damaged or missing seals | Severe warping |
Loose or unsuitable hinges | Major frame damage |
Closer defects | Unsuitable existing door construction |
Latch alignment issues | Excessive alterations to the door |
Minor frame defects | Large or unrepairable gaps |
Correctable perimeter gaps | Incorrect or unsuitable glazing |
Suitable threshold correction | Door and frame incompatibility |
Minor ironmongery defects | Lack of suitable supporting evidence |
Adjustment to improve closing action | Damage beyond practical repair |
If you are unsure whether your fire door should be repaired or replaced, a fire door inspection or survey can help identify the defects and determine the most appropriate solution.

Fire Door Certificate After Installation or Remedial Works
Documentation is an important part of fire door management.
Following eligible installation, remedial or inspection work, we can provide relevant fire door documentation and certification according to the service undertaken and the applicable certification scope.
The handover information may include:
- Property details
- Door identification
- Type of work completed
- Fire door rating where established
- Installed components
- Inspection findings
- Remedial work completed
- Photographic evidence where applicable
- Pass/fail or condition information where part of the inspection scope
- Installation or completion documentation
- Recommendations for further action where required
For larger buildings, maintaining a clear fire door register can also help property managers track inspections, repairs and future maintenance.
Certified Fire Door Installation and Third-Party Certification
Third-party certification can provide additional assurance that fire door products, installation or inspection services have been independently assessed within the defined scope of the relevant scheme.
Where applicable to our service, projects can involve recognised third-party certified products, installers or inspectors.
FIRAS Fire Door Installation
FIRAS is an independent third-party certification scheme covering installers of fire protection systems, including fire-resisting timber, metallic and composite doorsets within the relevant certification scope.
Where FIRAS-certified installation is specified, the contractor’s certification should cover the particular type of fire door work being undertaken.
BM TRADA Q-Mark Fire Door Installation
The BM TRADA Q-Mark Fire Door Installation Scheme independently assesses fire door installation companies operating within the scheme.
Its purpose is to help demonstrate that fire doorsets are installed correctly and according to relevant manufacturer instructions or appropriate guidance.
BWF Fire Door Alliance
The BWF Fire Door Alliance promotes third-party certification, traceability and best practice throughout the fire door supply chain.
BWF Fire Door Alliance certification and membership applies to defined manufacturers, processors, suppliers and products.
Where suitable, we can use fire door products and components supported by recognised third-party certification and traceability.
FDIS Fire Door Inspection
FDIS stands for the Fire Door Inspection Scheme.
FDIS certification relates specifically to competent individual fire door inspectors rather than being an installation accreditation.
Where an FDIS-certified inspection is required, the inspector’s current certification can be verified through the FDIS register.
Multi-Scheme Fire Door Compliance Support
For larger or higher-risk projects, the fire door solution may involve several layers of assurance, including:
- Third-party certified doorsets
- Certified components
- Competent installation
- Independent inspection
- Product traceability
- Installation documentation
- Ongoing maintenance records
This provides a clearer compliance trail for landlords, Responsible Persons, facilities managers and property management companies.
