In Norwich
How we handle fire doors around Norwich.
Stock around Norwich 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 Norwich
What's specific about fire door work in Norwich.
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 Norwich.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Norwich'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.
Listed and conservation-area buildings
Plenty of Norwich buildings are listed or in a conservation area, so fire doors often need to look right as well as perform. Painted finishes, traditional architrave reinstatement, ironmongery that doesn't shout — all part of the spec.
Mixed property stock
Norwich 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 Norwich 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.
Service area
Where we cover around Norwich.
On every door
What we actually check on a Norwich install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- 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)
- 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

FAQ
Fire door questions from Norwich.
Will you take the old doors away?
Yes, removal and disposal are in the standard quote for Norwich jobs unless you want them left on site for some reason.
Can you work in occupied buildings in Norwich?
All the time. HMOs, flats, care, commercial. Phased works, dust kept down, residents and staff respected.
What ironmongery do you use?
Only certified components compatible with the door's tested spec. CE/UKCA-marked hinges, closers, latches, seals. No bodges.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in Norwich and it's an installation issue, we come back and sort it. That's part of the workmanship guarantee.
Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Norwich 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 Norwich 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.
