Fire door repairs and remedial works for Scunthorpe buildings
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Scunthorpe, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Scunthorpe protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, industrial estates and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Scunthorpe building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Scunthorpe building first and return evidence against each action.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement

Questions
Do you cover DN16 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Scunthorpe including DN16, and nearby towns such as Goole and Gainsborough. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
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.
