Getting fire door replacement right in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Our fire door replacement service covers Ashton-in-Makerfield and the wider Greater Manchester area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Ashton-in-Makerfield protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If a door in your Ashton-in-Makerfield building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Ashton-in-Makerfield building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
