Fire door replacement in Tewkesbury, done to the evidence
We provide fire door replacement in Tewkesbury (GL20 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Tewkesbury protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small offices and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Tewkesbury building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Tewkesbury opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Fire door law for Tewkesbury properties
Fire doors in Tewkesbury 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 Tewkesbury 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.
Who needs fire door replacement in Tewkesbury?
From offices to care homes, the requirement for fire door replacement in Tewkesbury comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Do you work in Tewkesbury?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Tewkesbury and the surrounding area, including Cheltenham and Gloucester. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Tewkesbury?
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.
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.
