What fire door replacement in Eastleigh should include
When you book fire door replacement in Eastleigh, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Eastleigh range from high-street shops to schools and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Eastleigh building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Eastleigh opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
The regulations behind fire doors in Eastleigh
The rules that apply to fire doors in Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh 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.

In Eastleigh, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work.

Common questions
Is Eastleigh within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Eastleigh in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Southampton. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Eastleigh building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
