Getting fire door replacement right in Greater Manchester
Our fire door replacement service runs throughout Greater Manchester. Main towns include Manchester, Oldham and Wigan, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We never leave a Greater Manchester opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If your Greater Manchester building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Greater Manchester has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Greater Manchester
The rules that apply to fire doors in Greater Manchester are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Greater Manchester block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
