Fire door replacement in Derbyshire, done to the evidence
Across Derbyshire, from Derby to Chesterfield, we survey, supply and fit fire door replacement for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We never leave a Derbyshire opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Derbyshire building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Derbyshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Fire door law for Derbyshire properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Derbyshire 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 Derbyshire 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.
