Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Wolverhampton
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Wolverhampton is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Wolverhampton protect escape routes in shared houses, clinics and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Wolverhampton building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Wolverhampton building first and return evidence against each action.
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:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Closer replacement and adjustment
Fire door law for Wolverhampton properties
In Wolverhampton, 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 Wolverhampton 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
Do you work in Wolverhampton?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Wolverhampton and the surrounding area, including Wednesfield and Willenhall. 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.
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.
