What fire door repairs and remedial works in Wakefield should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wakefield, we offer fire door repairs and remedial works with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Wakefield, fire door work covers everything from schools to HMOs. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Send us the inspection report for your Wakefield building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Wakefield can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
What you get:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report

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.

How quickly can you survey in Wakefield?
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.
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.
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.
