Fire door replacement in New Milton: what's involved
From the BH25 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across New Milton for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in New Milton protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your New Milton building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a New Milton 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.
What you get:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
Which fire door rules apply in New Milton?
The rules that apply to fire doors in New Milton 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 New Milton 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.
