Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Felling
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Felling, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Felling has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, small offices and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Felling building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Felling building first and return evidence against each action.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
Each installation includes:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Fire door law for Felling properties
Fire doors in Felling 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 Felling 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.

Common questions
Is Felling within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Felling in Tyne and Wear and neighbouring towns such as Gateshead. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Felling?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
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.
