Fire door replacement in Maldon: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Maldon, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Maldon range from family homes after loft conversions to schools and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Maldon building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Maldon building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
What the rules say for Maldon
The rules that apply to fire doors in Maldon 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 Maldon 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.

Questions from Maldon
Do you work in Maldon?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Maldon and the surrounding area, including Witham and Chelmsford. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
