Fire door repairs and remedial works for Berkshire buildings
Across Berkshire, from Reading to Slough, we survey, supply and fit fire door repairs and remedial works for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Berkshire building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Berkshire can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
Fire door work in Berkshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
What the rules say for Berkshire
Fire doors in Berkshire fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Berkshire above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Fire door repairs and remedial works questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across Berkshire?
Yes. We cover all of Berkshire, including Reading and Slough. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can large gaps around a fire door be fixed?
Sometimes. Small gap problems can often be corrected by adjusting hinges or approved edge repairs. Gaps far beyond the certification usually mean the door or frame must be replaced.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
