Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Gloucestershire
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service runs throughout Gloucestershire. Main towns include Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Many repairs in Gloucestershire can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Gloucestershire building first and return evidence against each action.
Gloucestershire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Gloucestershire
The rules that apply to fire doors in Gloucestershire 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 Gloucestershire 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.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across Gloucestershire?
Yes. We cover all of Gloucestershire, including Gloucester and Cheltenham. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
