Fire door repairs and remedial works for Reigate buildings
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Reigate and the wider Surrey area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Reigate protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small offices and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Reigate can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Reigate 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Fire door law for Reigate properties
England's framework applies in Reigate. 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 Reigate, 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.
Which buildings in Reigate need fire door repairs and remedial works?
From blocks of flats to schools, the requirement for fire door repairs and remedial works in Reigate 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.

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.
