High rise fire door upgrade programme

The Council is upgrading individual flat entrance door-sets in high rise buildings across the Borough. We are installing Secure by Design standard FD30S door sets, which include the door, frame, smoke seals, ironmongery, fanlight (if any) and locking systems.

If your Front Entrance Door is not compliant with this standard, the Council will add you to the programme for an upgraded door as part of these works. 

Tenants will have the cost of replacement met by the Council. For leaseholders, the cost of the doors depends on what specification your flat requires. The approximate cost is circa £1300. The Council is happy to allow you to make payments over a period of up to 18 months’ dependant on your circumstances and repayment agreements can be arranged via the Leasehold Services Team leaseholdservices@hounslow.gov.uk.

Tenants and leaseholders in the next phase received letters in February 2018 detailing the works planned for their building, with anticipated completion in May 2018

Alternatively, if you wish to replace the door yourself, you should provide details beforehand to the Investment Officer, Anil Oza: anil.oza@hounsow.gov.uk to confirm this is the correct standard required and that you comply with set deadlines to ensure each block is fully compliant.

We have received positive feedback from residents who have recently had their doors replaced by the Council. If you have any queries relating to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact leasehold services on 0208 583 3787.
