Fire door repairs and remedial works in Nottingham: what's involved
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Nottingham (NG1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Nottingham, fire door work covers everything from schools to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Nottingham building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Nottingham 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.
What you get:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
What the rules say for Nottingham
England's framework applies in Nottingham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Nottingham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Do you cover NG1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Nottingham including NG1, and nearby towns such as West Bridgford and Arnold. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Nottingham?
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.
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 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.
