Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Stanley
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Stanley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Stanley range from schools to small blocks of flats and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Send us the inspection report for your Stanley building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Stanley 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:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
Rules and responsibilities in Stanley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stanley 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 Stanley 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 from Stanley
Is Stanley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stanley in County Durham and neighbouring towns such as Chester-le-Street. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Stanley?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
