What fire door repairs and remedial works in Gravesend should include
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Gravesend, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Gravesend protect escape routes in schools, industrial estates and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Gravesend building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Gravesend 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.
Each installation includes:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Fire door law for Gravesend properties
England's framework applies in Gravesend. 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 Gravesend, 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.

Questions from Gravesend
Is Gravesend within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Gravesend in Kent and neighbouring towns such as Grays. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Gravesend?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
