Shop door repairs Canterbury

After a forced entry in Canterbury or elsewhere in Kent, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket. If your Canterbury 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.

Work in Canterbury is run from Birmingham, roughly 154 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Jobs in CT1, CT2, CT5 are planned alongside Herne Bay and Ashford.

What can we sort out in Canterbury?

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.

Worn seals and thresholdsPerished brushes, gaskets and threshold plates let in rain, grit and cold air, and they are simple to renew.

Dropped or sagging doorWorn hinges, pivots or floor springs let the door sink. We reset the door or replace the worn part so that it clears the floor again.

What does it cost in Canterbury?

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.

Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so a Canterbury shop or any other premises in Kent can keep customers coming through. 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

Do you work in CT1, CT2, CT5?

Yes. Canterbury and the CT1, CT2, CT5 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

Will a repair make my door wheelchair accessible?

Not on its own, although a lighter closer and a lower threshold can help. Approved Document M gives a 775 mm clear width for existing buildings in England. The Equality Act 2010 expects reasonable adjustments, so a wider change may be worth discussing.

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 Canterbury out of hours?

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