We repair DDA-compliant accessible automatic doors and resolve common faults such as push pad or sensor failure, issues with access control fobs, tags or keypads, doors opening or closing unexpectedly, failing to open or stay open, error codes, locking difficulties, fire alarm test failures, battery or UPS faults, and occupier test failures. Before attending site, we can provide DBS checks, insurance documents, health and safety policies, and risk assessments to ensure a smooth visit. All work is carried out with full risk assessments and safety barriers in place, and where necessary we schedule works at safer times such as when buildings are closed. Our trained engineers work with major manufacturers and carry stocked spare parts to deliver fast, cost-effective repairs that minimise disruption and reduce the risk of business downtime.

Fire exit doors often develop issues due to infrequent use or, in some cases, heavy daily use as entry points, both of which can lead to wear and tear on key components. It is essential they remain in optimal condition, with BS8300 and BS8214 recommending biannual inspections focusing on panic bars, handles, hinges, pivots, and closing mechanisms. Our trained engineers work with all major manufacturers and carry stocked parts to ensure fast, effective repairs, with fixed-rate call-outs covering all costs and the first hour on site to minimise disruption and business downtime. We also offer service contracts with preventative maintenance to keep your doors compliant, operational, and protected from costly component failures.

Glass doors are designed to provide a clear, frameless appearance, typically secured using patch clamps or rail fittings that must be correctly tightened and maintained as their components naturally wear over time. Many issues arise from a lack of maintenance or misunderstanding of these serviceable parts, leading customers to believe a full replacement is needed when repairs are often sufficient. Common problems include misalignment causing contact with adjacent glass or frames, loose handles, insecure top fixings, missing cover plates, doors closing too quickly, locking difficulties, doors not opening or closing fully, dragging on the floor, and intermittent failures of access control or electronic locking systems.

Security doors are designed to prevent unauthorised access and maintain building security, and can be made from steel, aluminium, glass, or timber. They are typically fitted with advanced locking systems such as maglocks, shearlocks, or motorised bolts, often integrated with access control and alarm systems. Users may gain entry by presenting a fob or card to a reader that verifies their identity before releasing the lock for manual opening. In some cases, these doors can also be automated, allowing for touchless operation where the door opens and closes without the need to push or pull.

Our roller shutter repair service covers a wide range of faults to restore full safety, security, and performance. We begin with a thorough inspection and then carry out targeted repairs to address mechanical, electrical, or physical issues.

Working with leading manufacturers, our qualified engineers quickly identify faults and restore movable walls and sliding partitions to full working order with minimal disruption across offices, hotels, schools, sports centres, public buildings, and more. We repair common issues such as dropped panels, difficulty stacking or closing, misaligned keys, loose handles, worn rollers or tracks, damaged floor or ceiling tracks, panels not opening or closing properly, and faulty seals. We also offer service contracts with preventative maintenance to reduce breakdowns, ensure compliance, and extend system lifespan, helping avoid costly replacements while keeping panels aligned, sealed, and operating smoothly.

If you are a facilities or building manager, our automatic door servicing helps prevent costly repairs while ensuring your systems remain safe, compliant, and fully operational.

DDA-compliant accessible doors are vital access points within buildings, often integrated with access control and fire alarm systems. Regular servicing is essential to ensure their safe and reliable operation. For facilities and building managers, we offer structured service contracts with fixed costs and pre-planned visits, which include comprehensive operational testing with fire alarm and access control interfaces, manual force checks, battery and UPS backup inspections, as well as testing of activation devices such as push pads. Our qualified engineers provide same or next-day emergency response when necessary, working safely with minimal disruption while adhering to stringent health and safety regulations. Each service includes risk assessments, comprehensive documentation, and condition reports to assist with budgeting and long-term maintenance planning.

We specialise in the servicing and repair of external fire and emergency exit doors, including systems with panic bars, paddle handles, and thumb turn locks, helping ensure compliance and safe evacuation as part of your fire safety strategy. Our planned maintenance is scheduled at convenient times and follows a structured scope of works, including risk assessments, safety checks, and full operational testing to confirm safe escape routes. Minor repairs are included, with adjustments to floor springs, transom closers, or overhead closers where needed, and clear quotations provided for any additional defects or recommendations, with priority given to multi-door sites. Fire and emergency exits provide critical alternative escape routes during incidents such as fire, and in line with BS9999, they should be inspected and serviced every six months to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.

Glass doors require careful maintenance due to their frameless design, as even small misalignments can cause contact with surrounding surfaces, so pivot components must remain secure and in good condition. With typical gaps of just 3–7mm, alignment is critical to ensure smooth operation and proper lock engagement. Our planned maintenance service is scheduled at convenient times and includes minor repairs, adjustments to floor, transom, or overhead closers, and clear quotations for any additional defects, with priority given to multi-door sites. Engineers carry out full safety procedures including risk assessments, deployment of safety barriers, inspection of operators, torque checks on glass fixings, cleaning of components, and safe access to internal mechanisms. We also provide recommendations to reduce risk and improve performance, helping prevent failures, minimise disruption, and keep your business operating smoothly.

Regular servicing and preventative maintenance of movable walls and sliding partitions helps extend system lifespan, reduce breakdowns, and avoid the cost and disruption of full replacements across environments such as offices, hotels, schools, sports centres, public buildings, exhibition halls, and retail spaces. We offer tailored service contracts with planned maintenance designed to keep systems compliant and operational, including checks to ensure tracks are secure and clean, rollers are in good condition, fixings are tight, panels are correctly aligned, and seals are fully functional, supported by condition reports and service records. Before attending site, we can provide DBS checks, insurance details, health and safety policies, and risk assessments, and our engineers always work with full safety procedures including designated work areas and barriers, scheduling higher-risk tasks at quieter or unoccupied times where necessary. All works are planned at convenient times to minimise disruption and prevent costly downtime.

Security doors are designed to prevent unauthorised access and maintain building safety, and can be manufactured from steel, aluminium, glass, or timber. They typically feature advanced locking systems such as maglocks, shearlocks, or motorised bolts and are often integrated with access control and alarm systems. Entry may require a fob or card to verify identity before unlocking for manual operation, while some systems can also be automated to provide touchless opening and closing without the need to push or pull the door.

The primary function of an emergency exit in a building is to provide a special route for evacuations during emergencies, such as fires. The effective combination of standard and emergency exits facilitates quicker evacuations and offers an alternative path if the primary exit is obstructed by fire or other hazards. 

To comply with BS9999 regulations, fire escapes must undergo servicing and inspection every six months. This maintenance may also be required by your building insurance policy, your lease agreement, or as part of your Fire Risk Assessment regarding the upkeep of your fire exits.

While fire escapes are typically tested on a weekly basis and utilised only in emergencies, some are regularly employed as entry points to a building, leading to increased wear and tear on their components. This is where proper design and specification become crucial to guarantee that the appropriate products are installed, aligning with the specific operational requirements.
