Fire door replacement in Farnborough

Fire door replacement: our service in Farnborough

We provide fire door replacement in Farnborough (GU14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Farnborough has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, HMOs and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We never leave a Farnborough opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Farnborough building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.

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.

What you get:

• Frame repair or replacement where needed
• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Removal and disposal of the old door
• Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification

Rules and responsibilities in Farnborough

England's framework applies in Farnborough. 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 Farnborough, 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.

Who needs fire door replacement in Farnborough?
