What fire door repairs and remedial works in Brighton should include
From the BN1 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Brighton for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Brighton, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Send us the inspection report for your Brighton building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Brighton 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.
Each installation includes:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Rules and responsibilities in Brighton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Brighton 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 Brighton 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.
Where fire door repairs and remedial works fit in Brighton
From offices to HMOs, the requirement for fire door repairs and remedial works in Brighton comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Brighton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Brighton in East Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Hove. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Brighton 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.
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 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.
