Fire door repairs and remedial works in Hampshire, done to the evidence
Whether your building is in Southampton, Portsmouth or a smaller place in Hampshire, we can provide fire door repairs and remedial works with the same evidence-led approach.
Many repairs in Hampshire can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Hampshire building first and return evidence against each action.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Hampshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Hampshire
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hampshire 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 Hampshire 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.

Questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across Hampshire?
Yes. We cover all of Hampshire, including Southampton and Portsmouth. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
