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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
