Fire door repairs and remedial works for Stockport buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stockport, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Stockport protect escape routes in offices, care homes and converted period houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Stockport can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Stockport building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
What you get:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
Rules and responsibilities in Stockport
England's framework applies in Stockport. 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 Stockport, 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Stockport
Typical settings for fire door repairs and remedial works include blocks of flats, HMOs and offices. In Stockport, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Do you work in Stockport?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Stockport and the surrounding area, including Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
