Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Grays
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Grays? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Grays and the wider Essex area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Grays, schools, HMOs and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Send us the inspection report for your Grays building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Grays 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
What the rules say for Grays
The rules that apply to fire doors in Grays 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 Grays 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.

Questions
Do you cover RM17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Grays including RM17, and nearby towns such as South Ockendon and Gravesend. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Grays?
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.
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.
