Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Sunderland
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Sunderland, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Sunderland protect escape routes in purpose-built flats, GP surgeries and industrial units alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Sunderland can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Sunderland 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.
What you get:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Sunderland?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Sunderland 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 Sunderland 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.

Questions
Do you cover SR1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Sunderland including SR1, and nearby towns such as Seaham and Washington. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Sunderland 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 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.
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.
