Fire door replacement in Basingstoke

Fire door replacement in Basingstoke: what's involved

From the RG21 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Basingstoke for homes, blocks and workplaces.

In and around Basingstoke, fire door work covers everything from HMOs to industrial units. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

If your Basingstoke building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Basingstoke 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.

Each installation includes:

• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
• Evidence linked back to your inspection report
• Removal and disposal of the old door

The regulations behind fire doors in Basingstoke

Fire doors in Basingstoke fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Basingstoke above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
