Fire door replacement in Essex, done to the evidence
We provide fire door replacement across Essex, covering 22 towns and 68 postcode districts, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Colchester.
If your Essex building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Essex opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Essex can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Essex
In Essex, 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 Essex 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.
The steps on a Essex installation
- Review the inspection report or survey each door
- Recommend repair or replacement with reasons
- Order replacements to size
- Remove the old door only when the new one is on site
- Install, test and record each opening
