Fire door replacement for Brentwood buildings
We provide fire door replacement in Brentwood (CM14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Brentwood has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, industrial estates and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Brentwood opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Brentwood 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
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Fire door law for Brentwood properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Brentwood are England's. 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.
Where a Brentwood block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
