Repair or replace?

Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.

On a typical job that means:

• Removal and disposal of the old door
• Certified leaf or full doorset
• Evidence linked back to your inspection report
• Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
