Fire door replacement in Ashton-under-Lyne, done to the evidence
Our fire door replacement service in Ashton-under-Lyne is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Ashton-under-Lyne protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Ashton-under-Lyne building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Ashton-under-Lyne 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report

Questions
Do you work in Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding area, including Dukinfield and Stalybridge. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Ashton-under-Lyne?
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.
