Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Ashford (Kent)
From the TN24 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Ashford (Kent) for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Ashford (Kent) protect escape routes in care homes, low-rise blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions 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 Ashford (Kent) building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Ashford (Kent) 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:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
The regulations behind fire doors in Ashford (Kent)
In Ashford (Kent), as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Ashford (Kent) building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

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.
