Fire Door Repair & Maintenance Services

Every fire door we service is built to withstand regular wear and high-impact scenarios without compromising structural integrity, ensuring reliable performance in the event of a fire.

Fire doors are a vital component of any commercial or public building, including offices, retail spaces, flats, hotels, schools, and healthcare facilities. By acting as a barrier against the rapid spread of fire and smoke, they play a key role in fire safety strategies, providing occupants with time to evacuate safely and enabling firefighters to access the premises effectively.

Fire Door Maintenance FAQs

  • How often should fire door maintenance be carried out?

    For high-traffic residential blocks and commercial buildings, quarterly fire door maintenance visits are recommended. Annual maintenance is typically appropriate for lower-traffic premises. Your Fire Risk Assessment should specify the appropriate regime.

  • What does fire door maintenance include?

    Fire door maintenance covers inspection and adjustment of all door components including closers, hinges, intumescent and smoke seals, glazing, and latching hardware. Defects are remedied on the spot or flagged for follow-up fire door repair. A written record is provided for every door.

  • What are fire door remedial works?

    Fire door remedial works are the repairs and adjustments needed to bring a non-compliant fire door back into compliance. Common fire door remedials include seal replacement, closer adjustment or replacement, hinge tightening or replacement, gap correction, and glazing bead repair.

  • When is fire door repair more appropriate than replacement?

    Fire door repair is appropriate where the door leaf and frame are structurally sound but individual components have degraded. If the door has been significantly damaged, modified, or cannot be certified, replacement is correct. RiskFire will always advise honestly on which approach is more appropriate for your situation.

  • Where do your fire door maintenance and repair services cover?

    RiskFire provides fire door maintenance and repair services across the whole of the UK, including Greater London, the Midlands, the North, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Channel Islands. For clients managing large residential portfolios or multi-site commercial estates, we coordinate planned maintenance programmes across multiple locations simultaneously. All records and compliance documentation are managed centrally through Onetrace.


  • What is a notional fire door and can it be upgraded?

     A notional fire door is an existing door that met fire safety standards at the time of installation but has not been formally tested or certified to current British Standards. 


    These are common in older buildings and are not inherently non-compliant if in good condition, but they lack the third-party certification modern regulations increasingly require. In some cases, fitting certified seals and upgrading hardware can improve compliance, but where the door cannot be certified to the required standard, replacement is the correct course. 

  • How do I know if my fire doors need remedial works?

    The most reliable approach is a formal fire door inspection by a qualified inspector. Common signs that remedial works may be needed include gaps greater than 3mm around the door leaf, damaged or missing intumescent seals, closers that fail to pull the door fully shut, and loose or incorrectly fitted hinges. 


    Many defects are not obvious to an untrained eye, which is why periodic inspections are important. RiskFire carries out inspections across all building types and identifies exactly what works are required and in what priority order.

  • What defects are most commonly found on fire doors?

    The most common defects we encounter are intumescent seals that have been painted over, damaged, or are missing; gaps between the door leaf and frame that exceed the permitted tolerance; self-closing devices that are worn or have been disabled; and hinges fitted with non-fire-rated screws. 


    Vision panels replaced with non-fire-rated glazing and door leaves that have been drilled or modified are also frequently found. Any of these defects can undermine a door's fire resistance rating and should be addressed promptly.

  • What records of fire door compliance do you provide?

    All fire door works are documented through Onetrace, our cloud-based platform. After installation you receive a full record including door specification, fire rating, hardware details, product certification, and photographic evidence. After inspection you receive a condition report with risk-rated findings and recommended actions for every door. After remedial works you receive before-and-after photographic evidence and confirmation that the door has been brought back into compliance. All records are accessible in real time and support the Golden Thread requirements under the Building Safety Act 2022.
