Fire door repairs and remedial works in Wigston: what's involved
From the LE18 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Wigston for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Send us the inspection report for your Wigston building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Wigston can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
What the rules say for Wigston
In Wigston, 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 Wigston 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
Do you work in Wigston?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Wigston and the surrounding area, including Oadby and Leicester. 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.
