Fire door repairs and remedial works for Hebburn buildings
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Hebburn (NE31 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Hebburn protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Hebburn building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Hebburn 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
Fire door law for Hebburn properties
In Hebburn, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hebburn building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is Hebburn within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hebburn in Tyne and Wear and neighbouring towns such as Jarrow. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
