Fire door replacement in Harlow, done to the evidence
Our fire door replacement service covers Harlow and the wider Essex area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Harlow, fire door work covers everything from low-rise blocks of flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We never leave a Harlow opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Harlow 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Fire door law for Harlow properties
In Harlow, 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 Harlow 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.

Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Harlow building?

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.

Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
