Fire door replacement in Sittingbourne

Fire door replacement: our service in Sittingbourne

If you need fire door replacement in Sittingbourne, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Buildings in and around Sittingbourne range from care homes to high-street shops 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 your Sittingbourne building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Sittingbourne opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.

Repair or replace?

Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.

Each installation includes:

• Removal and disposal of the old door
• Frame repair or replacement where needed
• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Evidence linked back to your inspection report

Fire door law for Sittingbourne properties

England's framework applies in Sittingbourne. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Sittingbourne, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
