Fire door replacement: our service in Sale
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Sale, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Sale protect escape routes in schools, low-rise blocks of flats and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Sale building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Sale opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
What you get:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Fire door law for Sale properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Sale 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 Sale 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.
