Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Broadstairs
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Broadstairs, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Broadstairs, small offices, schools and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Send us the inspection report for your Broadstairs building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Broadstairs 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
Fire door law for Broadstairs properties
In Broadstairs, 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 Broadstairs 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.
