In Dawlish
The reality of fire door work in Dawlish.
Stock around Dawlish is all over the place. Victorian conversions next door to '70s blocks next door to brand new builds. Each one wants a slightly different approach — frame condition, original architrave, what's behind the plaster — and you only know once you're on site with a tape.
Why Dawlish
What's specific about fire door work in Dawlish.
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 Dawlish.
Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses
Dawlish's hospitality stock means a lot of bedroom-door work and back-of-house compartmentation. We schedule around occupancy so rooms stay lettable.
Salt-air corrosion on hardware
Coastal stock around Dawlish eats hinges and closers faster than inland sites. We spec marine-grade or stainless ironmongery where it makes sense, so the door still self-closes after a couple of winters.
Holiday lets and short-term rentals
Lots of converted seafront properties around Dawlish are short-let now, which brings them under the same fire safety regs as a small HMO. Surveyors are checking flat-entrance doors much more carefully than they used to.
Mixed property stock
Dawlish 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.
Service area
Where we cover around Dawlish.
On every door
What we actually check on a Dawlish install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- 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
