Fire door repairs and remedial works for Bideford buildings
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Bideford and the wider Devon area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Bideford has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, schools and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Many repairs in Bideford can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Bideford building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door

Fire doors in Bideford fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

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.
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 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.
