Fire door repairs and remedial works for Didcot buildings
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Didcot, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Didcot range from houses with integral garages to small offices 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.
Many repairs in Didcot can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Didcot building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs

Questions
Do you work in Didcot?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Didcot and the surrounding area, including Abingdon and Oxford. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
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.
