Fire Door Repairs in Plymouth

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Plymouth, 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.

Questions from Plymouth clients

Which fire safety law applies in Plymouth?

Plymouth is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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 Plymouth?

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

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.
