In Chelmsford
The reality of fire door work in Chelmsford.
There's a real mix of property types in Chelmsford — flats above shops, HMOs, schools, the odd care home — and the fire door rules don't bend just because a building's awkward. We've worked through most of it.
Why Chelmsford
What's specific about fire door work in Chelmsford.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Chelmsford.
Mixed new-build and older suburban stock
Chelmsford has a real split between newer block developments and older suburban conversions. The newer ones usually fail on threshold gaps and the wrong closer; the older ones on seals and frame condition.
Mixed property stock
Chelmsford has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.
Tighter assessor scrutiny
Fire risk assessors covering Chelmsford are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.
Working around occupants
Most Chelmsford jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

- Threshold detail and any cold smoke seal at the bottom
- Latch and lock case fire-rated and CE/UKCA marked
- Overall fit — does it actually self-close and latch from 30°?
