Fire door replacement: our service in Swinton
From the M27 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Swinton for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Swinton has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, family homes after loft conversions and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Swinton building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Swinton building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Rules and responsibilities in Swinton
In Swinton, 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 Swinton 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.

Questions from Swinton
Is Swinton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Swinton in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Eccles. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Swinton?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
