Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Littlehampton
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Littlehampton, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Littlehampton protect escape routes in high-street shops, family homes after loft conversions and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Littlehampton building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Littlehampton 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.
Each installation includes:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
The regulations behind fire doors in Littlehampton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Littlehampton 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 Littlehampton 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.
Where fire door repairs and remedial works fit in Littlehampton
From offices to HMOs, the requirement for fire door repairs and remedial works in Littlehampton comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Do you cover BN17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Littlehampton including BN17, and nearby towns such as Bognor Regis and Worthing. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Littlehampton 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.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
