Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Wokingham
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Wokingham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Wokingham, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Wokingham building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Wokingham 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.
What you get:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
What the rules say for Wokingham
In Wokingham, 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 Wokingham 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.

Questions
Is Wokingham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wokingham in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Crowthorne. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Wokingham?
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.
