Fire door repairs and remedial works for Loughborough buildings
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Loughborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Loughborough protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and HMOs alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Loughborough building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Loughborough 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.
What you get:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
What the rules say for Loughborough
The rules that apply to fire doors in Loughborough 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 Loughborough 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.

Common questions
Do you cover LE12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Loughborough including LE12, and nearby towns such as Coalville and Leicester. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Loughborough building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
