Fire door replacement in Newquay: what's involved
We provide fire door replacement in Newquay (TR7 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Newquay range from small blocks of flats to care homes and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Newquay building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Newquay opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
Each installation includes:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
What the rules say for Newquay
The rules that apply to fire doors in Newquay are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Newquay block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Newquay
Is Newquay within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Newquay in Cornwall and neighbouring towns such as Truro. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
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.
