Fire door repairs and remedial works in Bath, done to the evidence
From the BA1 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Bath for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Bath, schools, GP surgeries and HMOs 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 Bath building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Bath can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
Each installation includes:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Bath?
England's framework applies in Bath. 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 Bath, 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.
Which buildings in Bath need fire door repairs and remedial works?
Typical settings for fire door repairs and remedial works include HMOs, care homes and offices. In Bath, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Do you work in Bath?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Bath and the surrounding area, including Trowbridge and Kingswood. 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.
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.
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.
