Fire door replacement in Plymouth, done to the evidence
If you need fire door replacement in Plymouth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Plymouth protect escape routes in schools, clinics and converted flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We never leave a Plymouth opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Plymouth building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
What you get:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Plymouth
The rules that apply to fire doors in Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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.
Who needs fire door replacement in Plymouth?

Questions
Is Plymouth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Plymouth in Devon and neighbouring towns such as Plymstock. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Plymouth 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.
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.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
