Fire door replacement for Cheshunt buildings
If you need fire door replacement in Cheshunt, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Cheshunt has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, small offices and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If a door in your Cheshunt building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Cheshunt building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Fire door law for Cheshunt properties
Fire doors in Cheshunt fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Cheshunt above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

The need for fire door replacement usually arises in offices or care homes, and sometimes HMOs. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Cheshunt to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Is Cheshunt within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cheshunt in Hertfordshire and neighbouring towns such as Waltham Abbey. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cheshunt building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
