Fire door replacement in Totton, done to the evidence
Our fire door replacement service covers Totton and the wider Hampshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Totton, houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and small offices 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 your Totton building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Totton 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
