Fire door replacement: our service in Herne Bay
Our fire door replacement service covers Herne Bay and the wider Kent area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Herne Bay range from light industrial buildings to care homes and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If a door in your Herne Bay building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Herne Bay 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.
What you get:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
Which fire door rules apply in Herne Bay?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Herne Bay 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 Herne Bay 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.

Questions from Herne Bay
Do you cover CT6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Herne Bay including CT6, and nearby towns such as Whitstable and Canterbury. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Herne Bay?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
