Fire door repairs and remedial works in Bournemouth: what's involved
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Bournemouth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Bournemouth, fire door work covers everything from converted period houses to HMOs. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Many repairs in Bournemouth can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Bournemouth building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
On a typical job that means:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Fire door law for Bournemouth properties
Fire doors in Bournemouth 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.
For residential buildings in Bournemouth above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. 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.

How quickly can you survey in Bournemouth?
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.
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.
