Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Swindon
Looking for fire door repairs and remedial works in Swindon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Swindon and the wider Wiltshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Swindon range from converted flats to schools and purpose-built blocks of flats. 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 Swindon building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Swindon 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.
Each installation includes:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
The regulations behind fire doors in Swindon
The rules that apply to fire doors in Swindon 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 Swindon 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.
Which buildings in Swindon need fire door repairs and remedial works?
The need for fire door repairs and remedial works usually arises in blocks of flats or care homes, and sometimes HMOs. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Swindon to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Common questions
Do you work in Swindon?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Swindon and the surrounding area, including Cirencester and Chippenham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Swindon?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
