Shop door repairs in Sudbury

After a forced entry in Sudbury or elsewhere in Suffolk, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket.

Aluminium glazed entrance with arched door

Rear and fire exit doors at Sudbury premises matter as much as the front entrance, and repairs anywhere in Suffolk should keep any fire rating intact. If your Sudbury 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.

Sudbury is around 117 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Sudbury work takes in CO10. Neighbouring Colchester and Braintree are covered too.

What do we fix in Sudbury?

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

What does it cost in Sudbury?

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.

Send a short video of your Sudbury door opening and closing, because seeing it move often tells us more than a still photo can. 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 CO10?

Yes. Sudbury and the CO10 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Sudbury 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.
