Fire door remedial works in Hertfordshire
Need repairs after a fire door survey? FDS can review your report, price suitable remedial works and provide a completion record for works carried out by us.
Already have a fire door survey?
Send us your existing report and FDS can review whether the findings are suitable for a remedial works quote. This is useful for managing agents, landlords and responsible persons who already know which doors have been recorded as defective.
Remedial works, replacement parts, replacement doors and complex access are quoted separately. FDS does not take online payment for repair works through the survey calculator.
Send the report
Use the contact form to tell us about the existing report. We will confirm whether the information is enough to price, or whether a visit is needed first.
Request repair quoteCommon remedial works
Closers and hinges
Closer adjustment or replacement, hinge issues, loose fixings and hardware that affects closing or latching.
Seals and signage
Intumescent and smoke seals, damaged components, missing signage and visible issues recorded in the survey.
Frames and surrounding areas
Frame issues and fire-stopping around frames where suitable and within the agreed works scope.
Components and ironmongery
Locks, latches, handles, signage, glazing-related findings and other visible component issues, subject to suitability.
Replacement decisions
Some doors may not be suitable for practical repair and may need replacement doors or doorsets quoted separately.
What is quoted separately
Repair pricing depends on the survey findings, access, parts, site conditions and whether the works are suitable for remedial treatment rather than replacement.
- Replacement ironmongery and replacement parts.
- New doors, doorsets or major frame works.
- Intrusive works or opening-up.
- Access control, decoration and glazing.
- Resident liaison, waiting time, out-of-hours work or complex access.
Repair vs replacement
Some defects can be addressed through adjustment, repair or component replacement. Other findings may indicate that the door leaf, frame, glazing or wider installation needs replacement or further investigation.
FDS will avoid implying that repair work can certify the original doorset. Where replacement is more appropriate, this will be handled as a separate quote route.
Our process
1. Review
FDS reviews your existing survey or arranges a survey where one is needed.
2. Price
Suitable remedial works are priced separately from the online survey checkout.
3. Complete
Agreed works are completed subject to access, parts, scope and site conditions.
4. Record
Where FDS completes the works, a completion record can be issued for the specified works carried out by us.
Completion record
When FDS completes remedial works, we can issue a completion record confirming the works carried out by us. This is not a manufacturer’s certificate for the original doorset, does not certify works carried out by others, and is not a replacement for original fire door certification, a fire risk assessment, or Building Control approval.
The record provides a practical note for responsible persons, landlords and managing agents showing that specified works have been completed by FDS.

Can FDS price repairs from another survey?
Yes, where the report contains enough detail. If more information is needed, FDS may recommend a site review or fresh survey first.
Can I pay online for repairs?
No. Online payment is only for straightforward standard visual surveys up to 50 doors. Repair works are quoted separately.
Do remedial works guarantee compliance?
No. FDS can complete specified works and record what has been carried out by us, but this is not a guarantee of overall compliance and does not replace a fire risk assessment or original fire door certification.
What if a door needs replacement?
Replacement doors, doorsets, major frame works and complex parts are handled as a separate quote route.
