Fire door repairs and remedial works for Newbury buildings
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Newbury (RG14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Newbury, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Newbury building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Newbury can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
What can be repaired?
Most defects found on inspection are repairable: replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals, re-fixing or replacing hinges and missing screws, replacing or adjusting closers, fixing latches and keeps, fitting intumescent pads behind hinges and locks, re-glazing with the correct system and correcting minor gap issues where the manufacturer's guidance allows. Some repairs, such as hardwood edge repairs, must follow the manufacturer's method to stay within the evidence.
As standard, the work covers:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
What the rules say for Newbury
The rules that apply to fire doors in Newbury are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Newbury block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
