Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Eastleigh
From the SO50 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Eastleigh for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Eastleigh protect escape routes in industrial estates, schools and high-street shops alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Eastleigh building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Eastleigh building first and return evidence against each action.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
Fire door law for Eastleigh properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh 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.
Which buildings in Eastleigh need fire door repairs and remedial works?
The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in blocks of flats or offices, and sometimes HMOs. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Eastleigh to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions from Eastleigh
Do you work in Eastleigh?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Eastleigh and the surrounding area, including Southampton and Winchester. 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.
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.
