Floor spring repairs Greater London

Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in Greater London and across London can arrange the work outside trading hours. If a glass door at your Greater London premises has stopped closing properly, check for oil around the floor plate and send us a photo of it.

What do we fix in Greater London?

Worn top pivot or patchTop pivots, bottom straps and patch fittings wear alongside the spring, so we check them while the door is off.

Leaking hydraulic oilOil under the cover plate usually means the sealed unit has failed. It normally needs replacing rather than topping up.

Hold-open not holdingMany floor springs can hold a door open at a set angle. When that stops working, the mechanism is usually worn.

How much does it cost in Greater London?

As a guide, allow £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. Landlords looking after glass entrances in Greater London or anywhere in London can add floor springs to a planned maintenance visit, rather than waiting for a failure. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater London?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.

Will a new floor spring fit my existing box?

Often yes, if the box and spindle match the replacement. Many makes share similar sizes, but not all do, so we check the dimensions first. Where they differ, an adapter or a new box may be needed, and a new box means opening up the floor.

Can a leaking floor spring be repaired?

Usually not. A leaking floor spring is normally replaced, because the hydraulic unit is sealed and its seals are not a routine site repair. The cement box can often stay. If the box is corroded or the make is no longer available, we explain the options.

Do floor springs suit fire doors?

Some do, but only models tested for the purpose and fitted as part of a tested door set. Fire doors need a closing device of at least power size EN 3 under BS EN 1154. Never swap the closer on a fire door without checking its certification.
