Fire Door Repairs in Harpenden

Harpenden landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door repairs with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Harpenden.

Harpenden FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Harpenden?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Harpenden?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
