Fire door replacement for Whitefield buildings
Our fire door replacement service in Whitefield is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Whitefield, schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If your Whitefield building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Whitefield building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
What you get:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Whitefield
The rules that apply to fire doors in Whitefield 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 Whitefield 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.
