What fire door repairs and remedial works in Peterlee should include

Fire doors in Peterlee protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Peterlee can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Peterlee building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment

Questions
Do you cover SR8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Peterlee including SR8, and nearby towns such as Seaham and Hartlepool. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Peterlee?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
