What fire door repairs and remedial works in Truro should include
From the TR1 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Truro for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Truro protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Truro building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Truro 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Rules and responsibilities in Truro
In Truro, 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 Truro 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.

The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in schools or HMOs, and sometimes care homes. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Truro to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Do you work in Truro?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Truro and the surrounding area, including Falmouth and Redruth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
