Validate the defect
Recheck the door, its evidence and the practical repair route before disturbing the assembly.
Repair before replacement
Fire Door Maintenance
Where the available certification and condition permit, our maintenance teams repair existing doorsets rather than replacing them unnecessarily. Works are scoped against the recorded defect and closed out with evidence.
Scope
Practical support for planned and reactive requirements.
Our scope is confirmed against the property, available evidence and client requirements before work starts.
- Gap correction and evidence-supported re-lipping
- Closer, hinge, seal and ironmongery replacement
- Frame, architrave and perimeter remedials
- Planned programmes and responsive call-outs
Connected building elements
A repair must suit the existing assembly.
Closer adjustment, seal replacement or frame repairs need to be considered alongside the door’s alignment, hardware and available evidence. A change to one component can affect how the whole assembly closes and operates. The repair method and compatible components are checked before work, followed by functional checks and applicable records.
- Review the door, frame and existing identification together
- Investigate the cause of poor closing or excessive clearances
- Separate supported repairs from unresolved evidence or replacement needs
