Fire door repairs and remedial works for Ellesmere Port buildings
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Ellesmere Port and the wider Cheshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Ellesmere Port, fire door work covers everything from HMOs to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Many repairs in Ellesmere Port can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Ellesmere Port building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Rules and responsibilities in Ellesmere Port
The rules that apply to fire doors in Ellesmere Port 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 Ellesmere Port 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.
