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.
Each installation includes:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report

Questions from Acocks Green
Do you cover B27 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Acocks Green including B27, and nearby towns such as Shirley and Solihull. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Acocks Green 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.
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.
