Getting fire door replacement right in Faversham
We provide fire door replacement in Faversham (ME13 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Faversham has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Faversham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Faversham 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.
What you get:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door

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.

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.
