Fire door replacement in Berkhamsted: what's involved
If you need fire door replacement in Berkhamsted, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Berkhamsted range from small blocks of flats to care homes and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We never leave a Berkhamsted opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Berkhamsted building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
What the rules say for Berkhamsted
The rules that apply to fire doors in Berkhamsted 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 Berkhamsted 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.
