What fire door repairs and remedial works in Gillingham should include
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Gillingham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Gillingham range from schools to care homes and purpose-built flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Many repairs in Gillingham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Gillingham 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:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
The regulations behind fire doors in Gillingham
In Gillingham, 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 Gillingham 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.
Who needs fire door repairs and remedial works in Gillingham?
From blocks of flats to schools, the requirement for fire door repairs and remedial works in Gillingham comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Gillingham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Gillingham in Kent and neighbouring towns such as Chatham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Gillingham 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.
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.
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.
