Fire Door Remedial Works in Houghton-Le-Spring: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Houghton-Le-Spring?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Will the door still be a certified fire door after repair?

The aim of remedial work is to restore the door's original performance using compatible components and methods. Where a repair would go outside what the door's evidence supports, we will recommend replacement instead.
