Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Wallasey
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Wallasey (CH45 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Wallasey has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, care homes and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Wallasey building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Wallasey 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.
What you get:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Fire door law for Wallasey properties
Fire doors in Wallasey fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Wallasey above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Do you work in Wallasey?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Wallasey and the surrounding area, including Birkenhead and Bootle. 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.
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.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
