Fire door repairs and remedial works for Tiverton buildings
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Tiverton, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Tiverton has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, family homes after loft conversions and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Tiverton building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Tiverton 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.
What you get:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
Fire door law for Tiverton properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Tiverton 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 Tiverton 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
Do you work in Tiverton?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Tiverton and the surrounding area, including Exeter and Heavitree. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
