Fire door repairs and remedial works for Peterborough buildings
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Peterborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Peterborough range from schools to converted period houses and purpose-built flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Many repairs in Peterborough can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Peterborough building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Rules and responsibilities in Peterborough
England's framework applies in Peterborough. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Peterborough, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Peterborough
Do you cover PE1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Peterborough including PE1, and nearby towns such as Stamford and March. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Peterborough?
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.
