Fire door repairs in South Croydon

Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in South Croydon

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

South Croydon has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, converted flats and purpose-built blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We prioritise the most serious defects in your South Croydon building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in South Croydon 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:

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