Our repair process

1) On-site inspection

We assess the door’s condition, operation, gaps, seals, hardware, and frame alignment to identify the cause of failure.

2) Clear repair plan

You’ll get a straightforward summary of what needs repair, what can be adjusted, and what may require replacement.

3) Repairs and remedial works

We complete the agreed works using suitable components and correct fitting methods.

4) Post-repair checks and records

We re-check closing and latching performance and provide a clear record of the work completed for your site file.

Repair or replace: what’s the right option?

Many issues are repairable—especially alignment, closers, hinges, latching, and seals. Replacement may be the safer option if the door or frame is severely damaged, heavily altered, or cannot be restored to reliable safe operation. If replacement is recommended, you’ll be told why and what specification is needed.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you attend in Bromley?

Urgent call-outs may be available, with planned visits for multi-door sites. Call to discuss availability.

Can you fix a fire door that sticks or drags on the floor?

Yes—this is commonly caused by misalignment, hinge wear, closer force, or building movement. We correct the cause and restore smooth operation.

Do you replace smoke seals and intumescent strips?

Yes—damaged or missing seals are a common reason doors fail to perform properly. We replace and reinstate seals as part of remedial repairs.

Will the door close quietly after repair?

Where possible, yes. Correct closer adjustment and alignment usually eliminates slamming while still ensuring the door latches reliably.

Do you provide documentation of the repairs?

Yes. You’ll receive a clear summary of defects found, repairs completed, and post-repair checks.
