Most failed fire doors can be put right without replacement. Our certified engineers adjust, repair and replace components to the door's test evidence, often on the same visit as the inspection, and record every fix. Every job is recorded in OneTrace with photographs, location, a unique ID and pass/fail status. Clients and their fire risk assessor can view live records and download reports any time.
Fire door repairs that keep certification intact
Many failed fire doors do not need replacing. Worn seals, a loose closer, dropped hinges or gaps outside tolerance can usually be put right, as long as the repair uses compatible components and stays within the door’s test evidence. A repair done with the wrong parts can leave a door looking fine while it no longer performs.
TECS repairs fire doors using components that are compatible with the original doorset and the manufacturer’s guidance. Where a door cannot be repaired within its evidence, we tell you and recommend a replacement instead.

Repairs tied to your inspection
Most of our repair work follows a fire door inspection, either ours or one from your fire risk assessor. We work through the defect list door by door and record each repair in OneTrace with before and after photographs, the door’s location and unique ID. Your records show the defect, the repair and the date, which is exactly the trail a fire risk assessor or regulator will ask for.
We work in occupied residential blocks, care homes, schools, healthcare buildings and commercial premises across London, the South East, East Anglia and the East Midlands, planning work around residents and staff to keep disruption low.
