Fire door replacement for Gravesend buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Gravesend, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Gravesend protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, schools and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Gravesend building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Gravesend 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:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Rules and responsibilities in Gravesend
The rules that apply to fire doors in Gravesend 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 Gravesend 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.

Common questions
Do you cover DA11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Gravesend including DA11, and nearby towns such as Grays and Strood. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Gravesend?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
