Fire door repairs and remedial works in Frome, done to the evidence
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Frome is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Frome, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Frome building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Frome can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Before-and-after photos per door
Rules and responsibilities in Frome
The rules that apply to fire doors in Frome 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 Frome 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 from Frome
Do you cover BA11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Frome including BA11, and nearby towns such as Trowbridge and Bath. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
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.
