In Dawlish Warren
What fire door work actually looks like in Dawlish Warren.
Older properties in Dawlish Warren usually mean the existing frame's out of square by a fair bit. You can't just plane the door down to fit — it stops being a tested set the second you do. We line and pack the frame instead, keep the door spec intact.
Why Dawlish Warren
What's specific about fire door work in Dawlish Warren.
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 Warren.
Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses
Dawlish Warren'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 Warren 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 Warren 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 Warren 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.

Where we cover around Dawlish Warren.
On every door
What we actually check on a Dawlish Warren install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- 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
- 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°?

FAQ
Fire door questions from Dawlish Warren.
Will you take the old doors away?

What happens if a door fails inspection later?

Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Dawlish Warren be brought back into compliance?
Honestly — a lot of doors fail because of gaps, seals or wrong ironmongery, not the door itself. We'll tell you straight on the survey whether your Dawlish Warren doors are remediable or if they're past it.
What's the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 holds back fire for 30 minutes, FD60 for 60. Which you need depends on the building's compartmentation strategy in your fire risk assessment — not something to guess at.
