Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Plymstock
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Plymstock 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.
Fire doors in Plymstock protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Plymstock building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Plymstock 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:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Fire door law for Plymstock properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Plymstock 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 Plymstock 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
Do you work in Plymstock?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Plymstock and the surrounding area, including Plymouth and Paignton. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Plymstock building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
