Fire door repairs and remedial works in Winchester

Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Winchester

If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Winchester, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Winchester protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Send us the inspection report for your Winchester building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Winchester 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:

• Re-glazing to the original system
• Closer replacement and adjustment
• Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
• Hinge, screw and latch repairs

Which fire door rules apply in Winchester?

Fire doors in Winchester fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Winchester above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
