Fire door repairs in Brixton

Fire door repairs and remedial works in Brixton, done to the evidence

When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Brixton, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Fire doors in Brixton protect escape routes in shared houses, hotels and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We prioritise the most serious defects in your Brixton building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Brixton can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Closer replacement and adjustment
• Before-and-after photos per door
• Seal, strip and pad replacement
• Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
