Getting fire door replacement right in Bristol
Our fire door replacement service covers all of Bristol, across postcode districts including BS1, BS99 and BS8.
We never leave a Bristol opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Bristol building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Wherever your building is in Bristol, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Bristol
In Bristol, 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 Bristol 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.

Questions
Do you provide fire door replacement across Bristol?
Yes. We cover all of Bristol. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
