Fire door replacement in Winsford, done to the evidence
If you need fire door replacement in Winsford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Winsford, small offices, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We never leave a Winsford opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Winsford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door

Questions from Winsford
Do you work in Winsford?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Winsford and the surrounding area, including Northwich and Crewe. 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.
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.
