Shop door repairs Gillingham

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

Gillingham is around 131 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Jobs in ME7, ME8 are planned alongside Medway and Chatham.

What can we sort out in Gillingham?

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.

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

What does it cost in Gillingham?

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.

Rear and fire exit doors at Gillingham premises matter as much as the front entrance, and repairs anywhere in Kent should keep any fire rating intact. 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 cover Gillingham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Gillingham and across Kent, including ME7, ME8. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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 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.

What do I do if my shop in Gillingham is broken into?

Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
