Fire door replacement in County Londonderry: what's involved
Our fire door replacement service covers all of County Londonderry, across postcode districts including BT45, BT56 and BT49.

Wherever your building is in County Londonderry, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in County Londonderry

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in County Londonderry are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.
