Fire Door Repairs in Sunderland

From the SR1 district outwards, we cover Sunderland and neighbouring towns such as Seaham and Washington 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 Sunderland.

Questions from Sunderland clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Sunderland?

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.

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 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sunderland?

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