Fire door repairs and remedial works in Harlow, done to the evidence
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Harlow is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Harlow protect escape routes in schools, care homes and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Harlow can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Harlow building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
On a typical job that means:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Rules and responsibilities in Harlow
In Harlow, 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 Harlow 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.

Questions from Harlow
Is Harlow within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Harlow in Essex and neighbouring towns such as Hoddesdon. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Harlow?
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 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.
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.
