In Wickford
Fire door projects in and around Wickford.
There's a real mix of property types in Wickford — flats above shops, HMOs, schools, the odd care home — and the fire door rules don't bend just because a building's awkward. We've worked through most of it.
Why Wickford
What's specific about fire door work in Wickford.
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 Wickford.
Mixed new-build and older suburban stock
Wickford 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.
Salt-air corrosion on hardware
Coastal stock around Wickford eats hinges and closers faster than inland sites. We spec marine-grade or stainless ironmongery where it makes sense, so the door still self-closes after a couple of winters.
Holiday lets and short-term rentals
Lots of converted seafront properties around Wickford are short-let now, which brings them under the same fire safety regs as a small HMO. Surveyors are checking flat-entrance doors much more carefully than they used to.
Mixed property stock
Wickford 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.

On every door
What we actually check on a Wickford install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- 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°?

FAQ
Fire door questions from Wickford.
Can you work in occupied buildings in Wickford?
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 Wickford 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 Wickford 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 Wickford 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.
