What fire door repairs and remedial works in Deal should include
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Deal, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Deal protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Deal building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Deal 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.
What you get:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
Which fire door rules apply in Deal?
England's framework applies in Deal. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Deal, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Deal need fire door repairs and remedial works?
The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in HMOs or blocks of flats, and sometimes care homes. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Deal to keep escape routes protected throughout.
