Loddon and Chedgrave Properties

Loddon and Chedgrave face each other across the River Chet, a short Broads river that brings boats right up to the edge of the town. The result is a compact mix of older houses and cottages, shops and pubs in the centre, riverside homes and holiday lets, and newer housing on the edges of both villages.

Older buildings and later alterations

In an older Loddon property the question is often not whether a door looks right but whether it is still a fire door at all. Doors get trimmed to clear new flooring, fitted with new handles, painted over their seals or replaced during a refurbishment, and any of these can undermine performance. Our guide on whether you can paint a fire door covers one of the most common problems.

Businesses, pubs and holiday lets

If you run a shop, pub or restaurant, or let a cottage to paying guests, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes you responsible for assessing fire risk and maintaining the fire doors your premises rely on. Where there is living accommodation above a business, the door separating the two deserves particular attention.

How an Inspection in Loddon Works

Loddon is in the South Norfolk Council area, as is our base in Wymondham. Our inspectors are FIRAS certified and NVQ Level 3 qualified, and every visit follows the same four steps:

  • We agree a time that suits you, your tenants or your guests
  • Each doorset is checked in full, from the leaf and frame to the seals, hinges, closer and glazing
  • You receive a report with photographs, the status of every door and prioritised recommendations
  • If you wish, we quote for and carry out the remedial works or install certified replacement doorsets

Fire Door FAQs: Loddon

Can a fire door in an older Loddon property still look traditional?

Yes. Certified fire doorsets are made in panelled, boarded and cottage styles, so an older home, pub or holiday let can meet the requirement without looking out of place. What matters is that the door, frame and hardware form a tested, certified set.

I altered doors in my Loddon property during a refurbishment. Are they still fire doors?

Not necessarily. Trimming a door for new flooring, fitting different handles or hinges, or painting over the seals can all affect how it performs in a fire. An inspection will show whether each door still does its job or needs repair or replacement.

Do I need fire doors in my Loddon property?

If your Loddon property is an HMO, a block of flats, a care home, a hotel or a commercial building, fire doors are almost certainly part of its fire strategy, and the responsible person must keep them in working order under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Houses of three or more storeys and conversions built under Building Regulations may also require them.

How much does a fire door inspection cost in Loddon?

The cost depends on the number of doors and the type of property. Contact Access Fire Doors for a free, no-obligation quote for your Loddon property. Our inspections are FIRAS certified and give you the evidence insurers and licensing officers ask for.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Loddon?

We usually schedule inspections in Loddon within 5 to 7 working days, with urgent appointments available sooner. Call or WhatsApp us on 07717 751004 to check availability.

What does a fire door inspection in Loddon involve?

Our FIRAS-certified inspectors check every part of each doorset: the leaf and frame, intumescent and smoke seals, the self-closer, hinges, latches, glazing and the gaps around the door. You receive a report with photographs, the compliance status of each door and prioritised recommendations for any remedial work.
