What fire door replacement in Long Eaton should include
If you need fire door replacement in Long Eaton, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Long Eaton has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If a door in your Long Eaton building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Long Eaton building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
The regulations behind fire doors in Long Eaton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Long Eaton 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 Long Eaton 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.

Do you cover NG10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Long Eaton including NG10, and nearby towns such as Ilkeston and Nottingham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Long Eaton building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
