Fire door repairs in Sandown

Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Sandown

From the PO36 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Sandown for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Fire doors in Sandown protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages 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 Sandown building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Sandown can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.

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.

Each installation includes:

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

The regulations behind fire doors in Sandown

Fire doors in Sandown 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.

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.
