Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Hastings

Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Hastings? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Hastings and the wider East Sussex area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Fire doors in Hastings protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, schools and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Send us the inspection report for your Hastings building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Hastings building first and return evidence against each action.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Re-glazing to the original system
• Closer replacement and adjustment
• Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
• Hinge, screw and latch repairs

What the rules say for Hastings

In Hastings, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hastings building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
