Fire Door Repairs in Oldham

From the OL1 district outwards, we cover Oldham and neighbouring towns such as Chadderton and Royton for 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. We use the same method for buildings in Oldham.

Common questions in Oldham

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Oldham?

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

Do you cover the area around Oldham?

Yes. As well as Oldham itself we cover nearby towns including Chadderton, Royton and Failsworth.

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 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.
