Fire Door Repairs in Sandown

From the PO36 district outwards, we cover Sandown and neighbouring towns such as Ryde and Newport 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 Sandown.

Common questions in Sandown

Do you work in occupied buildings in Sandown?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Sandown can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sandown?

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