Fire door repairs and remedial works in Crowborough: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Crowborough, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Crowborough protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, schools and small offices 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 Crowborough building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Crowborough 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:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
Fire door law for Crowborough properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Crowborough 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 Crowborough 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.

In Crowborough, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Do you work in Crowborough?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Crowborough and the surrounding area, including Royal Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead. 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.
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.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
