Fire door replacement in Newmarket, done to the evidence
If you need fire door replacement in Newmarket, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Newmarket has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Newmarket building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Newmarket opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
What the rules say for Newmarket
Fire doors in Newmarket 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 Newmarket 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.

Questions
Do you work in Newmarket?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Newmarket and the surrounding area, including Haverhill and Ely. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
