Fire door replacement: our service in Stevenage
When you book fire door replacement in Stevenage, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Stevenage, care homes, houses with integral garages and schools 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.
We never leave a Stevenage opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Stevenage building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
What the rules say for Stevenage
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stevenage 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 Stevenage 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.
