Planned preventative maintenance programmes, annual and quarterly servicing, ad-hoc call-outs and emergency same-day response — keeping your fire doors compliant, functional and safe between formal inspections.
Maintenance Contract Options
Whether you need a full PPM programme, a one-off annual service or emergency cover, we have a maintenance option to suit your building type, compliance obligations and budget.
A structured annual or quarterly maintenance programme scheduled in advance. The most effective way to keep fire doors compliant, minimise reactive costs and maintain a consistent service record.
When a fire door fails unexpectedly — a closer breaks, a door won't self-latch, or damage occurs — our emergency response team attends the same day to make the door safe and restore compliance.
No ongoing contract required. For buildings that need occasional maintenance visits outside a scheduled programme — ideal for smaller portfolios or one-off servicing requirements.
Our maintenance visits cover all six critical areas of fire door hardware and performance — the same components assessed during a formal inspection, proactively serviced to prevent failures before they occur.
Adjustment of closing speed, back-check and latch action. Full replacement where the closer has failed or is beyond serviceable condition.
Replacement of intumescent and cold smoke seals where worn, damaged, incorrectly fitted or missing — the critical passive fire barrier.
Tightening of loose hinge fixings, adjustment of hinge position, and replacement of worn or incorrect hinge sets where required.
Adjustment of head, jamb and threshold gaps to within permitted tolerances. Threshold seal inspection and replacement where needed.
Lubrication, adjustment and replacement of latches, locks, handles, pull bars and other ironmongery components to maintain correct operation.
Correction of dropped or misaligned doors affecting self-close performance — addressing the root cause rather than just re-adjusting the closer.
Every maintenance visit — whether PPM, ad-hoc or emergency — produces a complete documentation package for your compliance records.
A detailed report of all works carried out on each door, including components serviced, parts replaced and current condition — your maintenance log.
A formal maintenance certificate confirming the doors have been serviced to the required standard — suitable for regulatory, insurance and audit purposes.
Timestamped photographs supporting the service report — particularly useful for evidencing works carried out and the condition of specific components.
For PPM contract clients, we schedule and confirm the next service visit date — so your compliance programme stays on track without you having to chase it.
Reactive maintenance — fixing doors after they fail — is consistently more expensive, more disruptive and more legally risky than a scheduled PPM programme. Here's why proactive maintenance makes better sense.
Catching worn closers, loose hinges and deteriorating seals early means small fixes rather than full replacements. PPM consistently reduces reactive maintenance spend over time.
Regular servicing keeps doors in compliant condition between formal inspections — reducing the risk of failures being identified by the fire authority or an enforcement notice being issued.
A PPM programme generates a complete, timestamped maintenance history for every door in your building — exactly what regulators, insurers and managing agents want to see.
Well-maintained fire doors last significantly longer than neglected ones. Regular servicing protects your asset and defers the cost of full door set replacement.
Fire door maintenance is a legal obligation for a wide range of building types and responsible persons. We deliver consistent, documented maintenance programmes for all of them.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require regular fire door checks in multi-occupied residential buildings. A PPM contract provides the documentation to evidence compliance and protect you from enforcement action.
Large residential portfolios require maintenance programmes that scale reliably across multiple sites with consistent standards, centralised documentation and minimal disruption to residents.
Offices, retail premises, hospitality and mixed-use buildings all carry a statutory duty to maintain fire doors in good working order. A maintenance contract keeps you compliant and minimises operational disruption.
A Planned Preventative Maintenance contract is a scheduled programme of regular fire door servicing — typically annual or quarterly. It keeps fire doors in compliant working condition between formal inspections, generates a documented maintenance record and reduces the risk of costly reactive repairs.
As a minimum, annually. High-traffic doors — communal corridors, stairwells, entrances — benefit from quarterly servicing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require quarterly visual checks of communal fire doors in residential buildings above 11 metres, which we can incorporate into a PPM schedule.
Yes. After every maintenance visit — whether PPM, ad-hoc or emergency — we issue both a detailed service report and a formal maintenance certificate. These documents form part of your fire safety compliance record and are suitable for regulators, insurers and managing agents.
Yes. We work with landlords, housing associations and property managers across large multi-site portfolios — delivering consistent standards, centralised service documentation and coordinated scheduling across all properties under a single contract.
Where maintenance works reveal that a door set is beyond serviceable condition and requires full replacement, we will advise you clearly and can carry out the installation ourselves. Our full-service capability means you never need to bring in another contractor.
