Fire door repairs and remedial works for Heywood buildings
From the OL10 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Heywood for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Heywood protect escape routes in small offices, care homes and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Heywood building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Heywood building first and return evidence against each action.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system

Fire doors in Heywood fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. 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.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions from Heywood
Is Heywood within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Heywood in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Middleton. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Heywood 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.
Can large gaps around a fire door be fixed?
Sometimes. Small gap problems can often be corrected by adjusting hinges or approved edge repairs. Gaps far beyond the certification usually mean the door or frame must be replaced.
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.
