Getting fire door replacement right in Wickford
We provide fire door replacement in Wickford (SS12 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Wickford has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If a door in your Wickford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Wickford building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
What the rules say for Wickford
In Wickford, 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 Wickford 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.

Questions from Wickford
Do you cover SS12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wickford including SS12, and nearby towns such as Pitsea and Rayleigh. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wickford building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
