Fire door replacement: our service in Bideford
From the EX39 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Bideford for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Bideford, family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If your Bideford building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Bideford opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
On a typical job that means:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
