Fire door repairs and remedial works for Redruth buildings
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Redruth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Redruth range from care homes to schools and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Redruth building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Redruth 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:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
The regulations behind fire doors in Redruth
England's framework applies in Redruth. 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 Redruth, 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
Do you cover TR16 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Redruth including TR16, and nearby towns such as Camborne and Truro. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Redruth 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.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
