Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Manchester
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Manchester (M2 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Manchester has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, converted flats and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Manchester building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Manchester building first and return evidence against each action.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
Which fire door rules apply in Manchester?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Manchester are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Manchester block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Manchester within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Manchester in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Salford. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Manchester 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.
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.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
