Fire door repairs and remedial works in Cambridge, done to the evidence
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Cambridge? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Cambridge has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built flats, care homes and industrial units, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Cambridge building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Cambridge building first and return evidence against each action.
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.
What you get:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
The regulations behind fire doors in Cambridge
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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.

Questions from Cambridge
Is Cambridge within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cambridge in Cambridgeshire and neighbouring towns such as Newmarket. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Cambridge?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
