Fire door replacement for Bedford buildings
We provide fire door replacement in Bedford (MK40 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Bedford protect escape routes in GP surgeries, care homes and converted period houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If a door in your Bedford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Bedford building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
The regulations behind fire doors in Bedford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bedford 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 Bedford 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.
