In Wandsworth
How we handle fire doors around Wandsworth.
If a fire door's already in the building in Wandsworth, 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 Wandsworth
What's specific about fire door work in Wandsworth.
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 Wandsworth.
Block management and managing agents
Wandsworth flat-entrance doors are typically managed at block level, with leaseholder consent issues to navigate. We're used to dealing with managing agents, Section 20 paperwork and resident notices.
Post-Grenfell remediation work
Most blocks across Wandsworth have had a fresh fire risk assessment in the last few years and a long list of door actions. We'll work straight from the FRA so nothing gets missed.
Mixed property stock
Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth 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.
