Shop door repairs Hitchin

If the fault cannot be diagnosed remotely, a charged diagnostic visit to your Hitchin premises finds the cause, and we tell you the price of that visit first. Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so a Hitchin shop or any other premises in Hertfordshire can keep customers coming through.

Hitchin is around 80 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Postcodes we work in around here include SG6, and we also cover Letchworth, Stevenage and Luton nearby.

Which faults do we deal with in Hitchin?

Rear and fire exit doorsSteel, timber and composite doors at the back of the shop get the same checks, and any fire rating is kept in place.

Bent door after forced entryAluminium stiles and frames can twist under a jemmy. We straighten what we can and replace sections that have torn.

Broken handles and push platesLoose or snapped door furniture is refixed or replaced, with care taken around glass doors.

What does it cost in Hitchin?

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 your Hitchin 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. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.

Common questions

Can you come out to Hitchin for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Hitchin. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

Can you repair the fire exit door at the back of my shop?

Yes, provided the repair keeps the door's fire performance. Closers, hinges and seals on FD30 and FD60 doors must suit the tested door. In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep them in good repair.

Why does my shop door keep sticking?

A sticking door usually has worn hinges or pivots, a tired floor spring or a frame that has moved. Seals and thresholds can also catch. Planing or forcing the door rarely cures it, so we find the cause first and repair that.

Can you board up a shop in Hitchin out of hours?

Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Hitchin. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
