Rayleigh FAQs

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.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Rayleigh from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Rayleigh, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Rayleigh?

Rayleigh 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.
