Getting fire door replacement right in Tiverton
From the EX16 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Tiverton for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Tiverton range from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We never leave a Tiverton opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Tiverton 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.
Each installation includes:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Tiverton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Tiverton 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 Tiverton 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 Tiverton?
From blocks of flats to offices, the requirement for fire door replacement in Tiverton comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Do you cover EX16 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Tiverton including EX16, and nearby towns such as Exeter and Heavitree. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Tiverton 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.
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.
