Fire door repairs and remedial works in Hailsham: what's involved
From the BN27 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Hailsham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Hailsham, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Send us the inspection report for your Hailsham building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Hailsham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
What you get:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
The regulations behind fire doors in Hailsham
England's framework applies in Hailsham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hailsham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Hailsham need fire door repairs and remedial works?
Typical settings for fire door repairs and remedial works include HMOs, blocks of flats and offices. In Hailsham, 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
Is Hailsham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hailsham in East Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Eastbourne. There is no charge for the survey.
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 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.
