In Letchworth
What fire door work actually looks like in Letchworth.
Stock around Letchworth 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 Letchworth
What's specific about fire door work in Letchworth.
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 Letchworth.
Mixed new-build and older suburban stock
Letchworth 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.
1960s–70s blocks reaching end-of-life doors
A lot of Letchworth's housing stock dates from the planned-town era and is now overdue a full door programme. We do these at block scale rather than door-by-door where it makes sense.
Mixed property stock
Letchworth 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 Letchworth 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.

- 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
