Fire door repairs and remedial works for Strood buildings
From the ME2 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Strood for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Strood range from small offices to small blocks of flats and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Send us the inspection report for your Strood building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Strood building first and return evidence against each action.
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:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Fire door law for Strood properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Strood are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Strood block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Where fire door repairs and remedial works fit in Strood

Questions from Strood
Do you work in Strood?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Strood and the surrounding area, including Rochester and Chatham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Strood?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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 I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
