Fire door replacement across Gloucestershire

Fire door replacement in Gloucestershire: what's involved

Whether your building is in Gloucester, Cheltenham or a smaller place in Gloucestershire, we can provide fire door replacement with the same evidence-led approach.

We never leave a Gloucestershire opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If your Gloucestershire building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.

Wherever your building is in Gloucestershire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.

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.

Which fire door rules apply in Gloucestershire?

Fire doors in Gloucestershire fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Gloucestershire above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
