Fire Door Repairs in Newbury

From the RG14 district outwards, we cover Newbury and neighbouring towns such as Thatcham and Basingstoke for fire door repairs.

In short: 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.

Newbury FAQs

Do you use the original manufacturer's parts?

Where they are available and appropriate. Otherwise we use components with suitable fire test evidence for the door type.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Newbury?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Newbury can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newbury?

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