Fire doors in Middleton protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Middleton can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Middleton 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
Which fire door rules apply in Middleton?
In Middleton, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Middleton building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
