Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in West Yorkshire
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service runs throughout West Yorkshire. Main towns include Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your West Yorkshire building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in West Yorkshire can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in West Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Fire door law for West Yorkshire properties
In West Yorkshire, 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 West Yorkshire 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.

Fire door repairs and remedial works questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across West Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of West Yorkshire, including Leeds and Bradford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
