What fire door replacement in Luton should include
When you book fire door replacement in Luton, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Luton has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, purpose-built blocks of flats and mixed-use office buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Luton opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Luton building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
Fire door law for Luton properties
In Luton, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Luton building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is Luton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Luton in Bedfordshire and neighbouring towns such as Dunstable. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Luton?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
