Repair first, replace when right

Most failed fire doors do not need replacing. Worn seals, oversized gaps, tired closers, missing screws and wrong hardware account for the bulk of inspection failures, and all of them can be remediated back to certified performance at a fraction of replacement cost.

The line matters though: where a leaf is damaged through its core, a frame is unrated, or a door has no traceable certification, remediation cannot make it compliant. We tell you which side of the line each door sits on, with evidence, before you spend anything.

We work from our own survey and inspection findings or directly from your fire risk assessment actions and third-party reports.

The good news: most failures are fixable.

The defects behind most failed inspections, worn seals, oversized gaps, hardware and closer faults, can be remediated in place. That is exactly what our remedial teams do, door by door, with before and after evidence.

Remedial works FAQs

No, and you should be wary of anyone who says yes. Doors with core damage, unrated frames or no traceable certification need replacement. Everything else, gaps, seals, hardware, closers and signage, can usually be brought back to compliance in place.
Yes. We regularly price and deliver remedial programmes against third-party surveys and fire risk assessment actions. Where a finding looks wrong we verify it on site before charging you to fix it.
Small programmes can usually be scheduled within days of quote acceptance, since most components are stock items. Larger programmes are phased core by core so the building always keeps protected escape routes.
Every remediated door gets before and after photos, a record of the components fitted and a sign-off entry in your compliance register. If you also need formal certification, see our fire door certificate service.
