Fire door replacement in Sandhurst, done to the evidence
We provide fire door replacement in Sandhurst (GU47 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Sandhurst protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We never leave a Sandhurst opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Sandhurst 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Fire door law for Sandhurst properties
England's framework applies in Sandhurst. 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 Sandhurst, 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.

Questions from Sandhurst
Is Sandhurst within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Sandhurst in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Crowthorne. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Sandhurst?
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.
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.
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.
