Fire Door Maintenance

Fire door maintenance that keeps you compliant.

Fire doors fail silently. Closers stick, seals shrink, hinges loosen, gaps creep open. Our scheduled maintenance programme catches the slow drift before it becomes a compliance problem.

What we check

Every visit, every door, every time.

A repeatable, documented service routine that keeps your fire-door asset register up to date.

01

Closer adjustment

Re-tension self-closers so doors close from the half-open position without slamming.

02

Hinge tightening

Every screw checked, missing screws replaced with the correct fire-rated fixings.

03

Seal replacement

Damaged or painted-over intumescent and smoke seals replaced like-for-like.

04

Gap correction

Gaps re-measured and frames adjusted where they've moved out of tolerance.

05

Hardware service

Locks, latches, panic hardware tested and lubricated — or replaced where worn.

06

Signage check

Missing or faded "Fire door — keep shut" signage replaced on both faces.

How often?

Maintenance frequency that matches your risk profile.

High-traffic doors (corridors, stairwells, entrances) need quarterly servicing. Low-traffic doors can be done annually with quarterly visual checks. We'll recommend a frequency based on your building type, traffic, and existing condition.

  • Hospitals, hotels, HMOs

    Recommended: quarterly maintenance + annual full audit.

  • Offices, schools

    Recommended: 6-monthly maintenance + annual full audit.

  • Low-traffic blocks

    Recommended: annual maintenance with documented quarterly visual checks.

Questions

Fire door maintenance, answered.

How often should fire doors be maintained?

At least annually, and more often in busy buildings. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require quarterly checks of communal fire doors in residential buildings over 11 metres, and BS 9999 recommends six-monthly inspections. We offer quarterly, six-monthly and annual contracts to match your risk profile.

What does a maintenance visit include?

Closer adjustment, hinge tightening, seal and strip replacement where worn, gap correction, latch and lock checks, signage, and a photo log of every door visited. Defects that need more than an adjustment are quoted separately.

What does a maintenance contract cost?

Pricing is subject to requirements: door count, visit frequency and building type all affect it. Tell us those three things and we return a fixed annual price within 7 days. See pricing.

Can you fix the defects found in an inspection?

Yes. Remediation uses certified products matched to the door's certification, and every repair is photographed and recorded so the fix is as defensible as the finding.
