What fire door repairs and remedial works in Northampton should include
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Northampton? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Northampton and the wider Northamptonshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Northampton protect escape routes in restaurants, hotels and shared houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Northampton building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Northampton building first and return evidence against each action.
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.
What you get:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
Which fire door rules apply in Northampton?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Northampton 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 Northampton 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.
Which buildings in Northampton need fire door repairs and remedial works?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Northampton can all commission fire door repairs and remedial works from us. The usual settings are schools and HMOs, though single doors for care homes are just as welcome.

Questions
Do you cover NN1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Northampton including NN1, and nearby towns such as Wellingborough and Daventry. The survey and written quote are free.
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 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.
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.
