Fire door repairs and remedial works for Cambridgeshire buildings
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service runs throughout Cambridgeshire. Main towns include Peterborough, Cambridge and Wisbech, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Send us the inspection report for your Cambridgeshire building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Cambridgeshire building first and return evidence against each action.
Wherever your building is in Cambridgeshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
The regulations behind fire doors in Cambridgeshire
Fire doors in Cambridgeshire 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 Cambridgeshire 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.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We cover all of Cambridgeshire, including Peterborough and Cambridge. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
