Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Thatcham
From the RG19 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Thatcham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Thatcham has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, care homes and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Thatcham building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Thatcham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
What the rules say for Thatcham
In Thatcham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Thatcham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in HMOs or schools, and sometimes offices. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Thatcham to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Common questions
Is Thatcham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Thatcham in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Newbury. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Thatcham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
