Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Brentwood
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Brentwood, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Brentwood range from houses with integral garages to schools and high-street shops. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Send us the inspection report for your Brentwood building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Brentwood building first and return evidence against each action.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
Which fire door rules apply in Brentwood?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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.
Who needs fire door repairs and remedial works in Brentwood?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Brentwood can all commission fire door repairs and remedial works from us. The usual settings are offices and schools, though single doors for blocks of flats are just as welcome.

Questions from Brentwood
Is Brentwood within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Brentwood in Essex and neighbouring towns such as Billericay. 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.
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.
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.
