What fire door repairs and remedial works in Northwich should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Northwich, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Northwich, fire door work covers everything from small offices to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Northwich building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Northwich can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
What can be repaired?
Most defects found on inspection are repairable: replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals, re-fixing or replacing hinges and missing screws, replacing or adjusting closers, fixing latches and keeps, fitting intumescent pads behind hinges and locks, re-glazing with the correct system and correcting minor gap issues where the manufacturer's guidance allows. Some repairs, such as hardwood edge repairs, must follow the manufacturer's method to stay within the evidence.
What you get:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
The regulations behind fire doors in Northwich
The rules that apply to fire doors in Northwich 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 Northwich 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
Is Northwich within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Northwich in Cheshire and neighbouring towns such as Winsford. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Northwich building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
