Fire door repairs and remedial works for Waterlooville buildings
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Waterlooville, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Waterlooville protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, care homes 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 Waterlooville building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Waterlooville 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.
Each installation includes:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
