Fire door repairs and remedial works for Heavitree buildings
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Heavitree (EX1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Heavitree protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Heavitree building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Heavitree can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
What you get:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
The regulations behind fire doors in Heavitree
The rules that apply to fire doors in Heavitree 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 Heavitree 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.

Common questions
Is Heavitree within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Heavitree in Devon and neighbouring towns such as Exeter. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Heavitree?
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 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.
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.
