Fire door repairs and remedial works in Shirley: what's involved
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Shirley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Shirley and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Shirley range from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Send us the inspection report for your Shirley building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Shirley building first and return evidence against each action.
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:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
The regulations behind fire doors in Shirley
Fire doors in Shirley 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 Shirley 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Shirley
Typical settings for fire door repairs and remedial works include schools, blocks of flats and HMOs. In Shirley, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Shirley
Do you work in Shirley?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Shirley and the surrounding area, including Solihull and Acocks Green. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
