Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Fleet
From the GU51 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Fleet for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Fleet range from light industrial buildings to care homes and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Send us the inspection report for your Fleet building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Fleet 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
Fire door law for Fleet properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Fleet 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 Fleet 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Fleet?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Fleet and the surrounding area, including Farnborough and Aldershot. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Fleet?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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 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.
