What fire door repairs and remedial works in Wellingborough should include
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Wellingborough is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Wellingborough range from industrial estates to high-street shops and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Wellingborough building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Wellingborough 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.
What you get:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Fire door law for Wellingborough properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough 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 cover NN8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wellingborough including NN8, and nearby towns such as Rushden and Kettering. 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.
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.
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.
