Fire door repairs and remedial works in Altrincham

Fire door repairs and remedial works in Altrincham: what's involved

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

In and around Altrincham, fire door work covers everything from small offices to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Send us the inspection report for your Altrincham building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Altrincham 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.

What you get:

• Hinge, screw and latch repairs
• Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
• Closer replacement and adjustment
• Seal, strip and pad replacement

Which fire door rules apply in Altrincham?

England's framework applies in Altrincham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Altrincham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
