Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Wellington
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Wellington, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Wellington, small offices, small blocks of flats and care homes 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.
Send us the inspection report for your Wellington building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Wellington building first and return evidence against each action.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Which fire door rules apply in Wellington?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wellington 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 Wellington 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.

Common questions
Do you cover TF1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wellington including TF1, and nearby towns such as Telford and Shrewsbury. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Wellington?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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 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.
