Floor spring repairs Northamptonshire

Landlords looking after glass entrances in Northamptonshire or anywhere in the East Midlands can add floor springs to a planned maintenance visit, rather than waiting for a failure. A failed floor spring at your Northamptonshire premises often affects the top pivot and patch fittings too, so we check those parts before pricing the new unit.

What do we fix in Northamptonshire?

Flooded or dirty boxWater and grit in the cement box shorten the life of the spring. We clear it and check that the box is still sound.

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 Northamptonshire?

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 Northamptonshire shop a diagnostic visit. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northamptonshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northamptonshire, including Corby, Daventry, Kettering, Northampton.

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.

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.

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.
