Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Blackpool
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Blackpool, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Blackpool has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, care homes and industrial units, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Many repairs in Blackpool can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Blackpool building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
What you get:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
What the rules say for Blackpool
Fire doors in Blackpool fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Blackpool above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Is Blackpool within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Blackpool in Lancashire and neighbouring towns such as Thornton-Cleveleys. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Blackpool?
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.
