Braintree, Essex
Shop door repairs in Braintree
If your Braintree shop door catches the floor or only locks when pushed, the cause is usually a worn pivot, hinge or closer, rather than a failed door.

After a forced entry in Braintree or elsewhere in Essex, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket. Rear and fire exit doors at Braintree premises matter as much as the front entrance, and repairs anywhere in Essex should keep any fire rating intact.
Work in Braintree is run from Birmingham, roughly 114 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover CM7, CM77 and the surrounding streets, along with Witham, Chelmsford and Sudbury.
Which faults do we deal with in Braintree?
What does it cost in Braintree?
Repairing a shop door costs £125 to £595 ex VAT per door, with glass, locks and floor springs priced on their own if they also need work. Photos and a short video of the door moving often let us price it remotely. If they do not, a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, finds the cause, and we give you that cost first.
If the fault cannot be diagnosed remotely, a charged diagnostic visit to your Braintree premises finds the cause, and we tell you the price of that visit first. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Braintree job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Can you come out to Braintree for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Braintree. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
Can a shop door be repaired after a break-in?
Often yes, if the leaf and frame are still straight. Bent aluminium sections and torn lock pockets may need replacing. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, although whether a claim is paid is always their decision.
When is it worth replacing the door instead?
Replacement makes sense when the frame is twisted, the leaf is corroded or rotten, or the same repair keeps coming back. We will tell you if a repair is unlikely to last. A new entrance door set is then priced as a separate job.
Can you board up a shop in Braintree out of hours?
Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Braintree. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
