What fire door repairs and remedial works in Dover should include
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Dover, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Dover protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, schools and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Dover can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Dover building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
Fire door law for Dover properties
Fire doors in Dover 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 Dover 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.
Which buildings in Dover need fire door repairs and remedial works?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Dover can all commission fire door repairs and remedial works from us. The usual settings are HMOs and offices, though single doors for care homes are just as welcome.

Common questions
Is Dover within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Dover in Kent and neighbouring towns such as Folkestone. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Dover building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
