Fire Door Repairs in Dunstable

From the LU6 district outwards, we cover Dunstable and neighbouring towns such as Luton and Leighton Buzzard for fire door repairs.

A fire door repair fixes a specific fault on a fire door, such as a broken closer, missing seal, loose hinge or damaged edge, so the door can again close, latch and resist fire and smoke as it was designed to. We use the same method for buildings in Dunstable.

Common questions in Dunstable

Can you fill a large gap with extra intumescent strip?

Not as a general fix. Gaps outside tolerance are usually corrected by re-hanging, lipping or adjusting the frame, because oversized intumescent strips are not a substitute for a door that fits.

Can a damaged fire door be repaired or does it need replacing?

Many faults can be repaired: closers, hinges, seals, small edge damage and beads. Holes through the leaf, major splits, delamination or damage to the frame often mean the door should be replaced. We will tell you which applies and why.

Can you price remedial work in Dunstable from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Dunstable, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dunstable?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Dunstable is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
