What fire door repairs and remedial works in Ely should include
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Ely, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Ely, fire door work covers everything from small offices to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Send us the inspection report for your Ely building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Ely 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Rules and responsibilities in Ely
In Ely, 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 Ely 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
Do you work in Ely?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Ely and the surrounding area, including Newmarket and March. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Ely?
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.
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.
