Fire door repairs and remedial works in Shrewsbury: what's involved
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Shrewsbury protect escape routes in high-street shops, care homes and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Shrewsbury building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Shrewsbury can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
What the rules say for Shrewsbury
The rules that apply to fire doors in Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Shrewsbury and the surrounding area, including Wellington and Telford. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Shrewsbury?
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.
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.
