In Northampton
How we handle fire doors around Northampton.
Stock around Northampton 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 Northampton
What's specific about fire door work in Northampton.
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 Northampton.
Mixed property stock
Northampton 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 Northampton 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 Northampton jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

- 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)

FAQ
Fire door questions from Northampton.
Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Northampton 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 Northampton 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.
Will I get paperwork for the fire risk assessor?
Yes. Every door fitted in Northampton comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
Do you do surveys on their own?
Yes. Standalone condition surveys on existing fire doors in Northampton, with a written report, photos and remedial recommendations. Useful before tendering bigger works.
Do you cover surrounding areas as well as Northampton?
Yes. We cover the wider area around Northampton — if you're not sure, just ask on the form and we'll confirm.
