Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Redditch
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service in Redditch is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Redditch has a broad mix of buildings, including high-street shops, houses with integral garages and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Redditch building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Redditch can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
On a typical job that means:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Rules and responsibilities in Redditch
The rules that apply to fire doors in Redditch 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 Redditch 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Redditch
Typical settings for fire door repairs and remedial works include offices, HMOs and blocks of flats. In Redditch, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Do you work in Redditch?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Redditch and the surrounding area, including Bromsgrove and Shirley. 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.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
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.
