Fire door repairs and remedial works in Ballymena: what's involved
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Ballymena, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Ballymena, small blocks of flats, care homes and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Ballymena building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Ballymena 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
