Fire door replacement for Purley buildings
If you need fire door replacement in Purley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Purley, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Purley building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Purley 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Fire door law for Purley properties
Fire doors in Purley 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For residential buildings in Purley 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Purley
Typical settings for fire door replacement include schools, blocks of flats and HMOs. In Purley, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Is Purley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Purley in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Coulsdon. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Purley 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.
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.
