Fire door replacement in Stanford-le-Hope

Fire door replacement in Stanford-le-Hope: what's involved

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stanford-le-Hope, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Stanford-le-Hope, schools, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

We never leave a Stanford-le-Hope opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Stanford-le-Hope building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.

Repair or replace?

Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.

Each installation includes:

• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Certified leaf or full doorset
• Frame repair or replacement where needed
• Removal and disposal of the old door
