Floor spring repairs Kent

Where the make cannot be identified, a charged diagnostic visit to your premises in Kent or the South East confirms it, and we tell you the cost first. Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in Kent and across the South East can arrange the work outside trading hours.

What do we fix in Kent?

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

Door will not centreA double-action door should stop at the closed position. Drift usually comes from a worn spring, a loose spindle or a box out of line.

Door slams or creepsClosing and latching speeds are set with valves. If adjustment no longer holds, the spring is wearing out.

How much does it cost in Kent?

The guide price is £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. A photo of the cover plate and door often identifies a floor spring fault, which can save your Kent shop a diagnostic visit. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Kent?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.

What happens if I leave a faulty floor spring?

The door becomes harder to control and can slam or swing into people. A failed spring also strains the top pivot, the patch fittings and the glass. Toughened doors need care, because damage at an edge can cause the whole panel to break.

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.
