Fire door replacement for Welling buildings
From the DA16 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Welling for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Welling has a broad mix of buildings, including student accommodation, hotels and mixed-use office buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Welling building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Welling 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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification

Questions
Do you cover DA16 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Welling including DA16, and nearby towns such as Bexley and Eltham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Welling 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.
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.
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.
