Fire door replacement for Aldershot buildings
When you book fire door replacement in Aldershot, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Aldershot, light industrial buildings, schools and small offices 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 Aldershot building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Aldershot 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Aldershot?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Aldershot 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 Aldershot 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.
