Fire door replacement for Letchworth Garden City buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Letchworth Garden City, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Letchworth Garden City range from care homes to family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages. 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 Letchworth Garden City opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Letchworth Garden City 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:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Which fire door rules apply in Letchworth Garden City?
In Letchworth Garden City, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Letchworth Garden City building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
