Fire Door Repairs in Watford: questions

Do you cover the area around Watford?

Yes. As well as Watford itself we cover nearby towns including Bushey, North Watford and Rickmansworth.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Watford?

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