Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Sittingbourne
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Sittingbourne, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Sittingbourne has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial estates, high-street shops and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Sittingbourne building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Sittingbourne 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.
Each installation includes:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
What the rules say for Sittingbourne
In Sittingbourne, 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 Sittingbourne 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.

Common questions
Is Sittingbourne within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Sittingbourne in Kent and neighbouring towns such as Faversham. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
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.
