Fire door repairs in Henley-on-Thames
Hotels and old buildings, booked around the busy weeks.
Get a priceHenley gets busy. Rowers, walkers, and hotel guests all arrive in the same few weeks.
If you run a hotel or an inn there, your landing doors are working hard and you probably don't want a carpenter in the corridor while the rooms are full.
We surveyed 129 fire doors at a hotel in Reading. A hotel corridor is a good place to see what time does to a door. Seals get knocked, closers get turned down and the same few doors get propped open for the trolleys.
How we would do it
We take a few rooms at a time and keep the corridor clear. Each finished door gets photographed before we start the next.
A run of rooms that are out of service helps a lot. Tell us which floors are quiet and we plan around those.
The regatta
Henley Royal Regatta is in early July. Book us for another week. A hotel with no spare beds is a bad place to take a door off its hinges.
Old buildings
A lot of Henley is old and some of it is listed. If yours is, the conservation officer at South Oxfordshire District Council is the person to ask about consent. Put the question to them first, then come back to us.
Repair is often the easier route anyway. New seals, a new closer and a proper rehang keep the door looking as it did.
Who enforces it
Henley is in Oxfordshire. The fire and rescue service there is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, not the Berkshire one. If you have a letter from them, send it with your enquiry.
From Luton
Henley is a bit under an hour and three quarters from us. One hotel can fill a day.
Questions we get asked
Does a listed hotel need consent for a repair?
A like-for-like repair often doesn't, but ask the council before we start.
Send it to us with the postcode and we will price it door by door.
