Getting fire door replacement right in Wigan
From the WN1 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Wigan for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Wigan protect escape routes in GP surgeries, converted period houses and HMOs alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If a door in your Wigan building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Wigan building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Fire door law for Wigan properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wigan 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 Wigan 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.
Who needs fire door replacement in Wigan?

Questions
Is Wigan within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wigan in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Hindley. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
