Many repairs in Bootle can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Bootle building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system

Questions from Bootle
Do you cover L21 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bootle including L21, and nearby towns such as Litherland and Wallasey. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Bootle?
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.
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.
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.
