What fire door replacement in Cumbria should include
We provide fire door replacement across Cumbria, covering 5 towns and 45 postcode districts, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal.
If a door in your Cumbria building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Cumbria building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Wherever your building is in Cumbria, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Cumbria
Fire doors in Cumbria 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 Cumbria 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.
