Fire Door Maintenance in Doncaster (and Nearby Towns & Cities)

Keep people safe, stay compliant, and extend the life of your doors. We provide planned and reactive fire door maintenance across Doncaster and the surrounding region—complete with photographic reports, an asset register, and clear remedial actions so you can evidence compliance at any time.

What We Do

  • Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM)

    • 6- or 12-monthly service visits (frequency tailored to your building type and risk).

    • Full door-set checks: leaf, frame, hinges, closer, latch, intumescent & smoke seals, glazing, signage, threshold, air transfer grilles, and ironmongery.

    • Gap & tolerance measurements: 2–4 mm at head/jambs, ≤8 mm at threshold (non-smoke) or ≤3 mm (with cold-smoke control).

    • Door closer sweep/latching speed set to safe, reliable closing without slamming.

  • Repairs & Remedials

    • Replace/upgrade intumescent & cold-smoke seals, drop-down thresholds, and brush seals.

    • Closer supply, fit, and calibration (EN 1154) and hinge upgrades (EN 1935).

    • Latch/strike alignment, keeps, and through-bolting where required.

    • Re-edging, minor re-hang/pack, plane & seal (maintaining certification pathways).

    • Vision panel/glazing bead repairs, hinge/intumescent pads, approved fillers and mastics.

    • Correct signage to BS 5499 (Fire Door Keep Shut / Keep Locked / Keep Clear).

    • Small-works: frame packers, threshold details, smoke control interfaces.

  • Evidence & Reporting

    • Per-door photo log and traffic-light summary.

    • Asset register with QR/ID tags so every door has a traceable history.

    • Clear “Pass / Advisory / Fail” outcomes with costed remedial options.

    • Digital pack suitable for audits and insurance reviews.

Why Choose Us

  • Specialist fire-door team—practical, site-ready, and compliance-focused.

  • Zero-nonsense reports you can hand straight to auditors, insurers, or the Responsible Person.

  • Minimal disruption: we schedule around live environments (schools, care, healthcare, apartments, offices, warehousing).

  • Lifecycle first: we’ll repair where safe before recommending replacement.

Compliance, Simplified

We maintain doors in line with current UK guidance (including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and applicable Fire Safety (England) regulations), relevant British Standards (e.g., BS 8214, BS 9999), and manufacturer instructions. We’ll help you set an inspection/maintenance cadence appropriate to your premises—e.g., more frequent checks in higher-risk areas or heavy-use doors.

Tip: High-rise residential and multi-occupied buildings typically require more frequent common-area checks. Ask us to set up a maintenance calendar that matches your legal duties and building use.

  • Care & Healthcare: care homes, supported living, clinics

  • Education: nurseries, schools, colleges, universities

  • Commercial & Industrial: offices, retail, logistics, manufacturing

  • Hospitality & Leisure: hotels, gyms, venues, stadia

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should fire doors be serviced?
Usage and risk drive frequency. Many premises opt for 6-monthly services; high-traffic or high-risk routes may need quarterly. We’ll recommend a schedule that matches your legal duties and insurer expectations.

Do you repair or insist on replacing?
We prioritise safe, compliant repairs first. If certification or structural integrity is compromised, we’ll explain why replacement is the right call and provide options.

Will maintenance affect certification?
We follow manufacturer data sheets and good practice so works maintain the door-set’s fire performance. Where components are replaced, we use compatible, like-for-like or approved alternatives and document everything.

Can you work during opening hours?
Yes—our team is used to live environments. We’ll plan noisy works for suitable times.

What evidence do I get?
A per-door report with photos, measurements, defects found, actions taken, and any remaining remedials—plus an asset register and service log for future audits.
