Across Dorset, from Bournemouth to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door repairs for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
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.

Fire Door Repairs in Dorset: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dorset?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Dorset is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Dorset?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Dorset can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
