Fire Door Repairs in Gainsborough

We provide fire door repairs for buildings in Gainsborough and the DN21 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Gainsborough.

Questions from Gainsborough clients

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.

Do you cover the area around Gainsborough?

Yes. As well as Gainsborough itself we cover nearby towns including Retford, Scunthorpe and Lincoln.

Which fire safety law applies in Gainsborough?

Gainsborough is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you use the original manufacturer's parts?

Where they are available and appropriate. Otherwise we use components with suitable fire test evidence for the door type.
