Fire door services
Whether you need a replacement fire doorset or help with defects identified in an inspection, start with the property and the work required. We agree the scope before work begins, including the relevant product information, access and handover requirements.
Installation and replacement of fire doors for flat entrances, communal areas and commercial buildings. The proposed doorset, frame, seals and ironmongery need to suit the opening and the specified performance requirements.
Help with reported defects such as damaged seals, faulty closers, worn hinges or doors that do not close correctly. Repair options depend on the door’s condition, supporting evidence and the applicable manufacturer or scheme requirements.
A failed inspection does not automatically mean every door needs replacing. Send us the report so we can discuss the next step.
Maintenance enquiries for fire doors in occupied buildings and managed premises. Discuss recurring defects, existing inspection findings and planned works with our team so that access and priorities can be agreed.
A coordinated approach for individual properties, blocks of flats and housing portfolios. We can discuss resident communication, work in communal areas and the wider building work needed alongside fire door improvements.
Repair or replacement?
A fire door is more than the door leaf. The frame, seals, glazing, hinges and closing hardware all need to be considered. Existing inspection findings and available product information help establish whether a suitable repair is possible or replacement is needed.

Door gaps, alignment and the ability to close correctly
Hinges, latches, handles and other ironmongery
Self-closing devices and closing action
Intumescent strips and smoke seals, where specified
