Fire door repairs and remedial works in Bathgate: what's involved
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Bathgate is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Bathgate range from small offices to schools and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Many repairs in Bathgate can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Bathgate building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
What you get:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door

Questions
Is Bathgate within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bathgate in Edinburgh & the Lothians and neighbouring towns such as Livingston. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Bathgate?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
