Getting fire door replacement right in Eltham
Our fire door replacement service in Eltham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Eltham protect escape routes in hotels, student accommodation and converted flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Eltham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Eltham building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
The regulations behind fire doors in Eltham
In Eltham, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Eltham 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.
Which buildings in Eltham need fire door replacement?
The need for fire door replacement usually arises in offices or HMOs, and sometimes blocks of flats. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Eltham to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions from Eltham
Do you work in Eltham?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Eltham and the surrounding area, including Blackheath and Welling. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Eltham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
