Professional Fire Door Maintenance & Repairs
Fire doors require regular inspection and maintenance to remain effective. Everyday use can cause damaged seals, faulty closers, loose hinges and excessive gaps, potentially compromising fire safety.
At Cochrane Doors, we provide planned and reactive fire door maintenance for landlords, housing associations, managing agents and commercial property owners.
Our services focus on identifying defects, completing suitable repairs and providing clear maintenance records to support ongoing fire safety compliance.

Our maintenance approach follows relevant industry guidance, manufacturer instructions and applicable fire door specifications.
Can defective fire doors be repaired?
Yes, many defects can be repaired where suitable methods and components are supported by the door's specification. Where repairs are unsuitable, replacement may be recommended.
