Not every fire door that fails an inspection needs to be replaced. In many cases, problems with the door, frame or fitted components can be corrected through remedial work, helping bring the existing fire door back to the required standard.
D2 carries out fire door remedial works for landlords, HMO operators, managing agents and commercial property owners. We can work from an existing fire door inspection report or assess the doors ourselves, identify what needs correcting and complete the necessary work.
Whether you have one door that needs attention or remedial works across an entire property, we’ll give you a clear understanding of what needs doing before work begins.
A fire door can fail an inspection for a number of reasons without necessarily needing complete replacement. Depending on the door and its condition, remedial work could involve correcting gaps, replacing unsuitable components, adjusting the door or carrying out repairs to the surrounding frame. We assess each door individually rather than automatically recommending replacement.
We carry out fire door remedials for landlords, HMO operators, managing agents and organisations responsible for larger residential and commercial properties. We can complete individual repairs or work through multiple doors across a property as part of the same programme.
Already had a fire door inspection? Send us the report and we can work through the identified defects door by door. We’ll establish which issues can be corrected through remedial work and highlight anything that may require more substantial work or replacement.
The right solution isn’t always a new door. Where an existing fire door can be appropriately remediated, we’ll explain what work is required. If the condition of the door or frame means remedial work isn’t suitable, we’ll make that clear and discuss replacement instead.

Small defects can affect how a fire door performs. Problems with gaps, seals, hinges, closers, frames or other components shouldn’t simply be left because the door still opens and closes normally.
Leaving identified issues unresolved can also mean the same doors continue to be flagged during future inspections, creating more remedial work and making it harder for those responsible for the property to demonstrate that defects have been dealt with.
D2 can work through the issues identified during an inspection and complete the appropriate remedial work, giving you a clear record of what has been addressed.
D2 takes a practical approach to remedial work. We assess what is actually wrong with each fire door and determine whether it can be corrected without unnecessarily replacing the complete door set.
For properties with several affected doors, we can work through the defects systematically rather than treating every repair as a separate job. Our joinery experience means we can deal with issues involving the door and frame alongside the associated fire door components, giving you one team responsible for the work.
Once the remedials are complete, we’ll provide a clear record of the work carried out, helping you keep your fire door information organised alongside your existing inspection and property records.
STEP 1
We’ll review your existing fire door inspection report or arrange to assess the affected doors. Each defect is considered individually so we can establish what remedial work is required.
STEP 2
We’ll put together a clear schedule of the work required and provide a quote before anything begins. If we believe a door needs replacing rather than repairing, we’ll identify it at this stage.
STEP 3
Our team completes the agreed work to the doors, frames and associated components. Where several doors are involved, we’ll organise the work to minimise disruption within the property.
STEP 4
We’ll review your existing fire door inspection report or arrange to assess the affected doors. Each defect is considered individually so we can establish what remedial work is required.
STEP 5
We’ll provide a record of the remedial work carried out for your files, giving you documentation to keep alongside the original inspection report and other fire door records.
In some cases, yes. A failed inspection doesn’t automatically mean the entire door needs replacing. It depends on the defect, the condition of the existing door and whether appropriate remedial work can correct the issue. We’ll assess this before recommending the work.
Yes. If you already have an inspection report identifying defects, send it to us and we can use it to assess and quote for the required remedial works.
The work required depends on the individual door and the defects identified. This can include adjustments and repairs to the door or frame, as well as work involving seals, hinges, closers and other fitted components.
If we don’t believe remedial work is appropriate, we’ll explain why and discuss replacement. We’d rather recommend a new fire door where it’s genuinely needed than carry out repairs that aren’t suitable.
Yes. We can provide a record of the work completed so you have documentation to keep alongside your fire door inspection and other property records.
