Fire door replacement: our service in Ely
Our fire door replacement service covers Ely and the wider Cambridgeshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Ely range from family homes after loft conversions to care homes and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If a door in your Ely building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Ely building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Ely
Fire doors in Ely fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Ely above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Buildings and duty holders in Ely
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Ely can all commission fire door replacement from us. The usual settings are care homes and blocks of flats, though single doors for schools are just as welcome.

Questions
Do you cover CB6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Ely including CB6, and nearby towns such as Newmarket and March. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Ely?
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.
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.
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.
