Fire door replacement: our service in Stockport
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stockport, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Stockport, fire door work covers everything from HMOs to converted period houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Stockport building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Stockport opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Which fire door rules apply in Stockport?
In Stockport, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Stockport building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs fire door replacement in Stockport?
