What We Do Here

Fire safety work in Norbury.

Norbury is full of Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats and HMOs, where the original panelled doors rarely carry any fire rating and the landlord's licence, the fire risk assessment or both end up calling for certificated FD30 doorsets, seals and closers throughout. In practice most of what we are asked for in Norbury is flat entrance doorsets in converted houses off the London Road, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

Questions

Working in Norbury.

What fire door work do you do in Norbury?

Across Norbury (SW16) it is mostly flat entrance doorsets in converted houses off the London Road, HMO fire doors and communal door remedials, along with the fire-rated glazing, ironmongery upgrades and remedial works that go with all of it. Norbury is full of Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats and HMOs, where the original panelled doors rarely carry any fire rating and the landlord's licence, the fire risk assessment or both end up calling for certificated FD30 doorsets, seals and closers throughout. Every job starts with a survey of the actual doors rather than a price guessed over the phone.

Do you charge extra to come out to Norbury?

No. Norbury is about 3 miles from the Croydon base, well inside the daily patch, so travel is in the price and a survey visit is normally a couple of days away.

Have you worked in Norbury before?

Yes. Norbury's big Edwardian houses converted into flats are exactly the buildings the flat entrance door rules were written for. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find in buildings around Norbury station and what yours is likely to need before anything is opened up.

Does the type of building in Norbury change the job?

It does, and it is the defining feature of the patch. Norbury's converted houses were built long before anyone rated a door, so the flat entrance doors are often the original panelled leaves with a coat of paint and no evidence behind them. When the fire risk assessment or an HMO licence catches up with that, the answer is usually certificated FD30S doorsets with closers, or where a door genuinely qualifies, an upgrade of seals and hardware. The judgement call between the two is the skill, and it is one we make street by street around Norbury station all the time.

Can you survey the doors in Norbury and then do the remedial work too?

Yes, and it is how most clients in Norbury run it: one firm surveys the doors, prices the findings, carries out the remedials and hands back a completion report photographed door by door. Nothing gets lost between a surveyor's spreadsheet and a contractor's quote, and the responsible person ends up with one consistent set of records for the building's fire safety file.

How soon could you get to a job in Norbury?

Norbury is around 3 miles from the Croydon base, so getting out to survey and quote is quick, usually within a few days. Start dates for installation and remedial programmes depend on the diary, and we would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one. Ring and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
