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.
Supply, installation and replacement of fire doorsets for flat entrances, communal areas and commercial buildings. We offer FD30, FD60, FD120 and FD240 options, selected to suit the required specification and the supporting product evidence.
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.
Fire door surveys and inspections for individual properties, communal areas and managed portfolios. We agree the inspection scope and reporting requirements before the visit, and can discuss installation, maintenance or remedial works arising from the findings.
Doorset options
We supply and install doorsets from a range of manufacturers, with a wide choice of finishes and styles. Bespoke options are available to suit the opening and project requirements.
The required rating, size, finish, glazing and hardware are considered together. Available combinations depend on the selected doorset and its supporting evidence; not every finish or configuration is available at every rating.

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 leaf and frame condition, including visible damage
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
Glazing, identification and available doorset documentation
