Fire door replacement: our service in Hastings
If you need fire door replacement in Hastings, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Hastings protect escape routes in schools, family homes after loft conversions and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Hastings building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Hastings 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Rules and responsibilities in Hastings
England's framework applies in Hastings. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hastings, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover TN34 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hastings including TN34, and nearby towns such as Bexhill-on-Sea and Hailsham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hastings 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.
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.
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.
