Fire door replacement in Crowborough: what's involved
When you book fire door replacement in Crowborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Crowborough protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Crowborough building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Crowborough building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
Each installation includes:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
What the rules say for Crowborough

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.

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

Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
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.
