Fire door repairs in Knebworth
Halls, small blocks and village buildings, a few miles from Stevenage.
Get a priceKnebworth is a village in North Hertfordshire, between Stevenage and Welwyn on the main railway line. It's a few miles down the road from Stevenage, so we pass close by on the way to other jobs.
Village halls
Halls come to mind first. Volunteers run them and several groups share the space. The fire doors tend to be the ones to the kitchen, the boiler room and the exits, and deliveries wedge them open and there they stay.
If you run a hall, you're probably the responsible person under the fire safety law. A fire risk assessment is separate from our work. We can mend the doors it points to.
Small blocks of flats
There are a few small blocks here. They aren't tall, so the rules for tall residential buildings don't apply, and your own risk assessment sets out what does. The faults are the usual ones: painted seals, tired closers, a gap at the bottom where the floor was relaid.
No surprise bills
A hall committee doesn't want a shock. You'll get a written price for each door before we start, and it's a fixed one. For a rough idea, repairs usually run £150 to £900 a door plus VAT, with seals and a closer set at the bottom of that.
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers the village.
