In Downham Market
The reality of fire door work in Downham Market.
If a fire door's already in the building in Downham Market, there's about a 50/50 chance it's failing on something — usually seals, hinge gauge, or the gap at the threshold. Our surveys flag everything with photos, so you know what's actually wrong before deciding to remediate or replace.
Why Downham Market
What's specific about fire door work in Downham Market.
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 Downham Market.
Mixed property stock
Downham Market 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 Downham Market 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 Downham Market jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.
Service area
Where we cover around Downham Market.
On every door
What we actually check on a Downham Market install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- 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°?
