SERV Contracts recently completed a fire exit door repair at Gables Surgery, located on Markyate Road, Dagenham, Barking and Dagenham, RM8 2LD. The works were carried out to restore the correct operation of a fire exit security door within a live healthcare environment.
Medical facilities such as GP surgeries and health centres rely heavily on fully compliant fire doors and escape routes, making prompt and professional repairs essential.

The fire exit door at the surgery was no longer operating as intended, creating concerns around safe emergency egress, compliance, and day-to-day usability. In healthcare settings, including surgeries, clinics and hospitals, fire exit doors must function correctly at all times to protect patients, staff and visitors.
The issue had developed due to wear and alignment problems, preventing the door from closing and latching correctly. If left unresolved, this could have compromised the building’s fire strategy and escape route integrity.
SERV Contracts arranged a site visit to the Dagenham surgery to assess the condition of the fire exit door, frame and associated hardware. Given the nature of the premises, works were planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption to staff and patients.
Our engineers carried out:
Inspection of the fire exit door and surrounding frame
Realignment of the door to restore correct closing action
Adjustment and repair of door hardware to ensure secure latching
Functional testing to confirm smooth operation
Final checks to ensure the door operated correctly as a fire exit
All works were completed efficiently and in line with best practice for fire door repairs within healthcare environments.
Following the repair, the fire exit door was returned to safe, reliable operation, ensuring:
Clear and unrestricted escape in an emergency
Correct door closure and security
Improved compliance and peace of mind for the client
Gables Surgery was able to continue operating normally, with confidence that the fire exit door was functioning as required.
