Fire door replacement for Brighton buildings
When you book fire door replacement in Brighton, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Brighton, restaurants, purpose-built blocks of flats and clinics 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 a door in your Brighton building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Brighton 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:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
What the rules say for Brighton
In Brighton, 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 Brighton 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.
Who needs fire door replacement in Brighton?
From offices to schools, the requirement for fire door replacement in Brighton 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.
