Fire door repairs and remedial works in Radcliffe: what's involved
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Radcliffe, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Radcliffe has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Radcliffe building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Radcliffe 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.
Each installation includes:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
Which fire door rules apply in Radcliffe?

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.

Common questions
Do you cover M26 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Radcliffe including M26, and nearby towns such as Whitefield and Prestwich. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Radcliffe?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
