Fire door repairs and remedial works in Bicester: what's involved
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Bicester (OX26 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Bicester, small offices, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Many repairs in Bicester can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Bicester building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Bicester?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bicester 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 Bicester 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 work in Bicester?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Bicester and the surrounding area, including Oxford and Banbury. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bicester building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
