Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Epsom
From the KT17 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works across Epsom for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Epsom protect escape routes in small offices, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Epsom building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Epsom 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
What the rules say for Epsom
The rules that apply to fire doors in Epsom 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 Epsom 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.
Who needs fire door repairs and remedial works in Epsom?
From blocks of flats to care homes, the requirement for fire door repairs and remedial works in Epsom comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Epsom within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Epsom in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Ewell. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Epsom?
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.
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.
