Fire door repairs and remedial works in Fareham: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Fareham, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Fareham protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, small offices and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Fareham building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Fareham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Rules and responsibilities in Fareham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Fareham 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 Fareham 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 Fareham need fire door repairs and remedial works?

Questions
Is Fareham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Fareham in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Gosport. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Fareham?
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.
