What fire door repairs and remedial works in Swanley should include
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Swanley (BR8 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Swanley, small offices, care homes and light industrial buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Many repairs in Swanley can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Swanley 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.
What you get:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Which fire door rules apply in Swanley?
England's framework applies in Swanley. 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 Swanley, 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Swanley?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Swanley and the surrounding area, including Bexley and Dartford. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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 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.
