Fire door replacement: our service in Walkden
From the M28 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Walkden for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Walkden, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Walkden building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Walkden 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:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Rules and responsibilities in Walkden
In Walkden, 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 Walkden 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.
