What fire door replacement in Cornwall should include
We provide fire door replacement across Cornwall, covering 6 towns and 50 postcode districts, including Redruth, Falmouth and St Austell.
We never leave a Cornwall opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Cornwall building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Cornwall can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
Fire door law for Cornwall properties
In Cornwall, 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 Cornwall 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.

- Review the inspection report or survey each door

Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
