Fire door repairs and remedial works in Cirencester: what's involved
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Cirencester? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Cirencester and the wider Gloucestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Cirencester has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Cirencester building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Cirencester 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
The regulations behind fire doors in Cirencester
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cirencester 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 Cirencester 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.
Which buildings in Cirencester need fire door repairs and remedial works?
The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in blocks of flats or care homes, and sometimes schools. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Cirencester to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions from Cirencester
Do you work in Cirencester?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Cirencester and the surrounding area, including Stroud and Cheltenham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cirencester building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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 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.
