Fire door repairs in Langley
Rented houses, flats and the damage tenants do without meaning to.
Get a priceLangley is in the borough of Slough, so Slough Borough Council is the licensing authority.
The council ran additional licensing for smaller shared houses from 2019 to 2024. In 2026 it consulted on borough-wide additional and selective licensing. That consultation closed on 20 September 2026 and we have not seen a confirmed decision, so check the council's site before you assume anything.
Separately, a mandatory HMO licence applies to a property lived in by five or more people from two or more households. If a licence inspection has left you with a list of doors, that is the sort of job we do.
What tenants do to doors
Take the closer off because it is annoying.
Wedge the door open with a shoe.
Drill a hole for a lock that is not fire rated.
Put a cat flap through the bottom.
A cat flap in a fire door is a hole through the protection. The door has to come out of service and the leaf be replaced.
What we do about it
Plug the holes with hardwood. Fit a new closer. Replace the seals. Reset the gaps.
If a door has gone too far, we say so and price a new one. If the old door is panelled or has moulded panels, the replacement should be a plain certified doorset, because cutting mouldings into a fire door can void its rating.
Doing several houses together
Where you have a few houses in the same area, we can do them on one trip and the price per door comes down. The tenant does not need to be there if you have arranged access.
Can you do the work with the house empty?
Yes. Empty is easier. We only need keys or access arranged.
