What fire door replacement in Bedfordshire should include
For fire door replacement anywhere in Bedfordshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Luton, Bedford, Dunstable and the rest of the county.
We never leave a Bedfordshire opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Bedfordshire building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Bedfordshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
The regulations behind fire doors in Bedfordshire
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bedfordshire are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Bedfordshire block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
