Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Caterham
From the CR3 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Caterham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Caterham range from schools to family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Many repairs in Caterham can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Caterham building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
What you get:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement

Common questions
Do you work in Caterham?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Caterham and the surrounding area, including Coulsdon and Purley. 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.
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 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.
