Fire Door Repairs in Christchurch

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

Christchurch FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Christchurch?

Christchurch 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 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.

Do you cover the area around Christchurch?

Yes. As well as Christchurch itself we cover nearby towns including Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole.

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.
