FIRE DOOR REPAIR SERVICES
​
At LFS, we repair and upgrade existing fire doors to save you the expense of purchasing new ones and ensure you meet your corporate and social responsibilities by reusing them (subject to survey). As a certified door manufacturer, we know exactly what a fire door needs to comply with legal requirements. That’s why we use numerous Global Assessments from door blank distributors and independently assess each door.

COMMERCIAL FIRE DOOR REPAIRS WHEREVER AND WHENEVER
We bring fire door repairs to your doorstep. Whether you are responsible for a business or government building, our fleet of fire safety experts is at your service whenever and wherever you need them.
Our team will visit you onsite and complete an inspection of your damaged fire door to examine whether it can be repaired or if a replacement is needed. We will then create a repair plan and get started on fixing the door. This may involve repairing or replacing the damaged areas.
Once we are happy with the repair, we will reinstall and adjust the fire door to ensure it fits perfectly back into place while still complying with fire door regulations. This process takes less time than installing a new fire door, saving you both time and money.
​
RESIDENTIAL FIRE DOOR REPAIR
As the owner of a residential property, it is also your role to ensure all fire safety measures are working at their optimum. This means fire door maintenance must be completed consistently to ensure that any damage is spotted early and can be repaired as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.
Plus, damaged fire doors are a breach of fire safety legislation, meaning you must request a fire door repair promptly to avoid fines, legal action or even imprisonment.

​
LEGAL OBLIGATIONS TO REPAIR FIRE-RATED DOORS
Your legal obligations as a commercial or domestic building owner are outlined in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This legislation includes details of your responsibilities surrounding fire safety and the fire prevention methods that should be in place to protect the building’s occupants.
Responsible persons must install quality fire doors that slow the progression of fires and help contain fires in limited spaces within a building. Any damage or inadequacies in fire doors can have detrimental effects on its level of fire resistance.
Therefore, the responsible person is also legally responsible for organising fire door maintenance and repairs as well as other passive fire protection systems within the building. To ensure maximum fire safety for occupants and the property, any damage should be immediately addressed by contacting a fire door repair contractor like ourselves.
Failure to do so may result in hefty fines or even imprisonment.
