Fire Door Repairs in Folkestone

Responsible persons in Folkestone can book fire door repairs with clear reports, useful photos and itemised 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 Folkestone.

Common questions in Folkestone

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Folkestone?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Folkestone?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Folkestone 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.
