In South Ockendon
Fire door projects in and around South Ockendon.
If a fire door's already in the building in South Ockendon, 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 South Ockendon
What's specific about fire door work in South Ockendon.
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 South Ockendon.
Mixed property stock
South Ockendon 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 South Ockendon 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 South Ockendon jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

Where we cover around South Ockendon.
On every door
What we actually check on a South Ockendon 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°?
- Frame condition, fixings and packing material

FAQ
Fire door questions from South Ockendon.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in South Ockendon 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 South Ockendon 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 South Ockendon 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.

Yes. Every door fitted in South Ockendon comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
