In Leicester
What fire door work actually looks like in Leicester.
Landlords and managing agents around Leicester are getting a much harder time from fire risk assessors than they were five years ago. The paperwork side matters as much as the door itself now, and that's the bit we've made painless.
Why Leicester
What's specific about fire door work in Leicester.
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 Leicester.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Leicester's big student population means a lot of HMO bedroom-door programmes and purpose-built student accommodation. Vacation windows are tight — we plan installs around lease changeover.
Mixed-use buildings and commercial fit-outs
Leicester has a lot of shops with flats above and offices over retail. Compartmentation between residential and commercial is where assessors push hardest, and where most of our remedial work sits.
Mixed property stock
Leicester 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 Leicester 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.
