Fire door repairs and remedial works in Coventry, done to the evidence
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Coventry, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Coventry, fire door work covers everything from student accommodation to shared houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Coventry building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Coventry can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Fire door law for Coventry properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coventry 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 Coventry 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 from Coventry
Do you work in Coventry?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Coventry and the surrounding area, including Kenilworth and Bedworth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Coventry?
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.
