In Chesham
What fire door work actually looks like in Chesham.
There's a real mix of property types in Chesham — 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 Chesham
What's specific about fire door work in Chesham.
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 Chesham.
Mixed new-build and older suburban stock
Chesham 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
Chesham 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 Chesham 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 Chesham jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

On every door
What we actually check on a Chesham install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Signage — fire door keep shut / keep locked, where required
- Closer model, force setting and whether it actually closes from any angle
- Architrave reinstatement without blocking the seal
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
- Glazing apertures — bead type, pin spacing, intumescent under bead
- Hinge gauge, count and certification — three minimum on a fire door
