Fire door replacement in Fareham

Fire door replacement: our service in Fareham

From the PO16 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Fareham for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Around Fareham, family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats and care homes 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 a door in your Fareham building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Fareham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.

Minimal disruption

We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.

As standard, the work covers:

• Removal and disposal of the old door
• Evidence linked back to your inspection report
• Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
• Certified leaf or full doorset

Which fire door rules apply in Fareham?

England's framework applies in Fareham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Fareham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
