What can be repaired?

Questions
Do you work in Workington?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Workington and the surrounding area, including Whitehaven and Dumfries. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Workington?
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.
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.
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.
