Door closer repairs in Leicestershire
Where a closer cannot be priced from photos, a charged diagnostic visit to your Leicestershire shop comes first, and we confirm the cost before booking.
Landlords with several doors in Leicestershire and elsewhere in the East Midlands can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one. A slamming door at your Leicestershire shop is usually a closer that needs adjusting or replacing, and one photo of the unit is a good start.
What do we fix in Leicestershire?
How much does it cost in Leicestershire?
Expect £145 to £345 ex VAT per closer. An oil stain on a door or floor in your Leicestershire premises usually means a failed closer, so a replacement is more likely than an adjustment. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Leicestershire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.
Why is my shop door so hard to open?
The closer is probably too powerful or badly set. Approved Document M and BS 8300 give guidance of no more than 30 N at the start of opening and 22.5 N from 30 to 60 degrees. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers must make reasonable adjustments.
What size door closer do I need?
The size depends on the door's width and weight under BS EN 1154. EN 3 suits doors up to 950 mm and 60 kg, and fire doors need EN 3 or above. Exposed doors in windy spots may need more power, which we check on site.
Can a door closer be adjusted rather than replaced?
Yes, if it is not leaking. Most closers have valves that set the closing and latching speed, and many have adjustable power. If the unit is leaking oil, or adjustment makes no difference, it needs replacing.
