Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Golborne
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Golborne? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Golborne and the wider Merseyside area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Golborne protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Golborne building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Golborne 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
The regulations behind fire doors in Golborne
The rules that apply to fire doors in Golborne 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 Golborne 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.

Questions
Do you work in Golborne?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Golborne and the surrounding area, including Newton-le-Willows and Ashton-in-Makerfield. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Golborne 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.
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.
