Address defects with a clear plan.
A damaged or poorly operating fire door needs a considered response. We assess the issue and explain whether suitable remedial work is possible or replacement should be considered.
Practical work, backed by the right evidence
Some reported defects may be corrected. Others can mean that the doorset needs more substantial work or replacement. The decision depends on the condition of the door and the applicable test evidence and manufacturer instructions.
Common issues we can assess
- A door that does not close or latch properly
- Worn, missing or damaged seals
- Hinges, closer or other hardware that needs attention
- Gaps around the leaf or at the threshold
- Damage or alteration to the leaf, frame or glazing
We describe the problem in plain language and set out the proposed work. We will explain when a repair cannot be supported by the available evidence.
Existing inspection reports
If another inspector has already recorded defects, send the report with your enquiry. Door references, photographs and the number of affected doors help us scope the work.
