Fire door repairs and remedial works in Stowmarket, IP14

What fire door repairs and remedial works in Stowmarket should include

If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Stowmarket, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Stowmarket has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We prioritise the most serious defects in your Stowmarket building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Stowmarket 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Closer replacement and adjustment
• Re-glazing to the original system
• Before-and-after photos per door
• Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
