What fire door replacement in Windsor should include
If you need fire door replacement in Windsor, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Windsor has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Windsor building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Windsor building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
As standard, the work covers:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Fire door law for Windsor properties
In Windsor, 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 Windsor 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.
