Fire door repairs and remedial works in Yeovil, done to the evidence
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Yeovil, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Yeovil protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Yeovil building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Yeovil building first and return evidence against each action.
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
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
Fire door law for Yeovil properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Yeovil 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 Yeovil 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 Yeovil
Do you cover BA20 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Yeovil including BA20, and nearby towns such as Bridgwater and Taunton. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Yeovil building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
