What Fire Door Repairs Do We Carry Out in Coventry and The West Midlands?
A fire door is made up of multiple components that must work together correctly. Damage, wear and tear or alterations to any part of the door set can affect its performance.
Our fire door repair services can include:
- Adjusting poorly fitting fire doors
- Correcting door and frame gaps
- Repairing damaged door frames
- Replacing damaged or missing seals
- Replacing intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Repairing or replacing hinges
- Adjusting and replacing door closers
- Replacing unsuitable or damaged ironmongery
- Repairing defects identified during inspections
- Replacing non-compliant components where appropriate
- General adjustments to restore correct operation
Fire Door Repairs Following an Inspection or Survey
One of the most common reasons clients contact us is because defects have already been identified during a fire door inspection or fire door survey.
A report may identify individual defects across dozens or even hundreds of doors, each requiring a different level of attention.
Our team can work through the identified defects systematically, completing the required fire door repairs and more extensive fire door remediation where necessary.
This gives facilities managers, estates teams and building owners a practical route from identifying a problem to putting it right.
Fire Door Repairs vs Fire Door Remediation
Although the terms are closely related, the scope of work can be different.
A fire door repair will typically address an individual fault or damaged component, such as a defective closer, damaged seal or alignment issue.
Fire door remediation can involve a more extensive programme of corrective works designed to address multiple defects and bring existing doors up to the required standard.
Flynn’s provides both services. This means that if we identify more extensive issues while carrying out repairs, we can recommend the appropriate solution.

FAQs About Fire Door Repairs
Can a damaged fire door be repaired?
It depends on the nature and extent of the damage. Some defects can be corrected through appropriate repairs or component replacement, while more significant issues may require remediation or replacement. The door should be assessed before deciding on the correct approach.
What are common fire door repairs?
Common issues can involve gaps, hinges, door closers, intumescent strips, smoke seals, ironmongery and damage to the door or frame.
Should I repair or replace my fire door?
Replacement isn’t automatically necessary whenever a defect is found. Where an appropriate repair can restore the door, it may offer a more practical solution. Where this isn’t possible, replacement may be recommended.
