What fire door replacement in Maidstone should include
If you need fire door replacement in Maidstone, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Maidstone range from converted period houses to HMOs and purpose-built flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Maidstone building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Maidstone opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
