Fire door repairs and remedial works in Woking, done to the evidence
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Woking is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Woking has a broad mix of buildings, including GP surgeries, industrial units and purpose-built flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Woking building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Woking 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.
Each installation includes:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Which fire door rules apply in Woking?
Fire doors in Woking fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Woking above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Which buildings in Woking need fire door repairs and remedial works?
The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in care homes or blocks of flats, and sometimes offices. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Woking to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Is Woking within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Woking in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Guildford. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Woking building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
