Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Thetford
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Thetford and the wider Norfolk area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Thetford, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Thetford building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Thetford can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
Each installation includes:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
What the rules say for Thetford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Thetford 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 Thetford 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.

In Thetford, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
