Fire door replacement: our service in East Sussex
Our fire door replacement service runs throughout East Sussex. Main towns include Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We never leave a East Sussex opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your East Sussex building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Wherever your building is in East Sussex, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Fire door law for East Sussex properties
In East Sussex, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your East Sussex building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Budgeting for fire door replacement in East Sussex
If you need a budget figure first, the guide for fire door replacement is £300–£600 for a leaf, £650–£2,400 for a doorset depending on type, ex VAT. We firm that up after a survey, pricing each door separately so you can see where the money goes.
