What fire door replacement in Stroud should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stroud, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Stroud protect escape routes in care homes, HMOs and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Stroud building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Stroud 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.
What you get:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Fire door law for Stroud properties
In Stroud, 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 Stroud 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.

Common questions
Is Stroud within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stroud in Gloucestershire and neighbouring towns such as Gloucester. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Stroud?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
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.
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.
