Local Fire Door Repairs
BLD Locksmith & Window Repairs carries out fire door repairs across Croydon CR0 and South Croydon CR2. The borough's fire-door duty splits across three distinct cohorts. The first is Croydon Council's post-Grenfell programme: the council manages around 13,000 HRA homes, including high-rise blocks subject to the Building Safety Act 2022. Post-Grenfell, the council committed to FD30S/FD60S front-entrance door replacement across council high-rise stock, with Reg 10 quarterly checks under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
The second is central Croydon's "Mini-Manhattan" cluster — the largest concentration of tall buildings outside the City and Canary Wharf, with around 30+ buildings over 50m. Commercial duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers the Seifert-era stock (NLA Tower / No. 1 Croydon, Grade II listed 2017; Lunar House Home Office HQ; Apollo House; AMP House). Post-2010 residential supertalls — Saffron Square (2014, 43 storeys / ~134m), Morello, Ten Degrees (2020, 44 storeys / ~135m), 101 George Street and the Ruskin Square towers — qualify as HRRBs under the BSA 2022, with Accountable Person duties.
The third is heritage and venue work. Fairfield Halls (Grade II, Robert Atkinson 1962, listed 1991) reopened September 2019 after a £42m+ refurbishment and requires heritage-spec fire doors, as does the Croydon Town Hall / Clocktower / Library / Museum complex (Grade II, Charles Henman 1892-96). We supply and fit certified FD30 and FD60 doorsets, BS EN 1935 grade 13 hinges, BS EN 1154 self-closers and certified intumescent / cold smoke seals, with documentation for the building's fire log. Need a locksmith in Croydon? We cover that too.
