For offices, shops and warehouses
Our commercial fire door repair in London fixes worn closers, loose hinges, torn seals and damaged edges on busy workplace doors. Escape route doors come first, and most repairs are made out of hours.
Repairing doors at work
A busy office door can open and close thousands of times a week. Even good doors wear out: closers weaken, hinges loosen and seals are torn by trolleys.
Commercial fire door repairs catch this wear before it becomes a failure. A worn closer is a small job. A stair door that will not shut is a serious risk.
When you report a fault, we ask where the door is. A door on a stair core or final exit gets an urgent visit. A store room door can wait for the next planned slot.
This keeps your most important doors working, without paying emergency rates for every small fault.
Have homes or shared houses that need repairs too? Our London fire door repairs cover every building type.
If repairs keep coming back, commercial fire door maintenance can stop faults before they start.
Where doors wear out
Workplace doors wear in the same places. These are the repairs we make most often.
Worn closers swapped for heavy-duty ones, sized for the door’s weight and traffic.
Worn hinges replaced, so the door stops dropping.
Torn smoke and fire seals replaced along the frame.
Damaged edges fixed with hardwood lipping, so the door seals properly again.
Loose handles tightened and latches re-aligned.
Drop seals fitted where gaps are too wide.

Mistakes to avoid
These quick fixes cause more trouble later.
Cheaper closers fitted to busy doors wear out in months.
New wiring drilled through doors.
Sticking doors planed instead of re-hung, which leaves gaps too wide to seal.
Access control not reconnected to the alarm after a repair.
Seals stuck in with the wrong glue fall out quickly and may not work in a fire.
Signs not refitted after repairs.

What facilities managers and business owners ask about repairs.
A new heavy-duty closer usually costs £120–£250 per door. Three new hinges cost £90–£180, and edge lipping costs £150–£300. There is a minimum visit of £180–£350, so grouping repairs saves money. You get a fixed price for every repair before work starts.
Escape route doors are treated as urgent. We aim to attend as soon as possible, often within one to two working days. In the meantime, keep the door closed and tell staff to report any problems. If the door cannot be fixed on the first visit, we make it safe and return with parts.
Yes. Most of our commercial repairs are done before opening, after closing or at weekends. This keeps escape routes open and staff undisturbed. We agree access with building security in advance. Repairs that need the alarm tested are also easier when the building is empty.
Usually because they are too light for the door or the traffic it takes. Busy doors need heavy-duty closers sized for their weight. We check each one and fit a closer that will last. A heavy-duty closer may cost a little more, but it lasts far longer on a busy door.
Yes. If a repair disturbs a reader or mag-lock, we work with your security contractor to reconnect it. We then test the door with the alarm to make sure it releases. Repairs are planned so the door is never left unsecured overnight.
Often, yes. Hardwood lipping can replace a damaged edge and close wide gaps. If the damage goes deep into the core, the door may need replacing instead. Kick plates and edge guards can then be fitted to stop the same damage happening again. We check each door and tell you which option is safer.
Yes, as long as the right parts are used and the work follows the door maker’s rules. We use fire-rated parts and record each repair, so you can show the rating was kept. Using the wrong parts, such as ordinary filler or hinges, can break the rating, so it is worth using a specialist.
Yes. Every repair is logged with the door number, what was done and photos. Over time, this shows which doors fail most, helping you plan servicing or replacements. The log is also useful for insurers and fire risk assessors, as it shows faults are fixed quickly. It can be shared as a simple spreadsheet.
If the same doors keep failing, planned maintenance may cost less. Regular visits catch wear early, so fewer urgent repairs are needed. We can look at your repair log and advise. Planned visits can also be booked out of hours, so they do not disrupt the business.
Usually the landlord pays for doors in shared areas, and each tenant for doors inside their space. Check your lease. We can invoice each party separately. If the lease is unclear, agree who is responsible before the repair, so the invoice goes to the right person. Either way, the door should be fixed quickly.
