What fire door repairs and remedial works in Cheltenham should include
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Cheltenham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Cheltenham has a broad mix of buildings, including converted period houses, care homes and offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Many repairs in Cheltenham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Cheltenham 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
Fire door law for Cheltenham properties
In Cheltenham, 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 Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham
Is Cheltenham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cheltenham in Gloucestershire and neighbouring towns such as Tewkesbury. 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.
