What Are Fire Door Remedials?
Fire door remedials involve identifying and correcting issues that may compromise the integrity or compliance of a fire door. Over time, fire doors can develop faults due to wear, damage, or incorrect installation — putting people and property at risk. Our service ensures that doors meet the necessary standards for safety, performance, and certification.
Why Fire Door Maintenance Matters
- Legal compliance – The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order requires fire doors to be regularly maintained and fit for purpose.
- Life safety – A well-functioning fire door slows the spread of fire and smoke, protecting occupants and escape routes.
- Cost-effective – Early identification of issues helps avoid costly full replacements or insurance issues.
- Audit trail – Professional remedials come with evidence-based reporting and documentation to support inspections and handovers.
What We Check & Repair
- Door leaf condition – Checking for damage, warping, or delamination.
- Gaps & sealing – Ensuring correct clearances and fitting of intumescent strips and cold smoke seals.
- Hardware – Inspecting and adjusting hinges, closers, locks, and latches for proper function.
- Frames & fixings – Making sure frames are secure, undamaged, and suitably fire-stopped.
- Certification – Verifying compliance labels and ensuring the fire door set meets required ratings.
