Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Stoke-on-Trent
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Stoke-on-Trent, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Stoke-on-Trent range from care homes to converted flats and clinics. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Send us the inspection report for your Stoke-on-Trent building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Stoke-on-Trent 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
The regulations behind fire doors in Stoke-on-Trent
England's framework applies in Stoke-on-Trent. 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 Stoke-on-Trent, 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.

Questions
Do you cover ST4 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stoke-on-Trent including ST4, and nearby towns such as Newcastle-under-Lyme and Longton. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Stoke-on-Trent?
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.
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.
