Fire Door Repairs in Kendal

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Kendal, our fire door repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Kendal FAQs

Do you cover the area around Kendal?

Yes. As well as Kendal itself we cover nearby towns including Morecambe, Lancaster and Barrow in Furness.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kendal?

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

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 repair a fire door from photos?

We can usually diagnose and price common faults from clear photos of the whole door, the edges and the hardware. Some faults, such as a warped leaf, need a site visit to measure.
