Fire door repairs in Islington

Fire door repairs and remedial works for Islington buildings

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Islington, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Islington, student accommodation, care homes and hotels all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Many repairs in Islington can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Islington 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Re-glazing to the original system
• Hinge, screw and latch repairs
• Before-and-after photos per door
• Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
