Fire door replacement: our service in Lower Earley
If you need fire door replacement in Lower Earley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Lower Earley has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Lower Earley opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Lower Earley building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
Each installation includes:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Rules and responsibilities in Lower Earley
England's framework applies in Lower Earley. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Lower Earley, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Is Lower Earley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Lower Earley in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Reading. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
