Send us the inspection report for your Daventry building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Daventry can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report

Questions
Do you work in Daventry?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Daventry and the surrounding area, including Rugby and Northampton. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Daventry?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
