Getting fire door replacement right in Swanley
Our fire door replacement service covers Swanley 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.
Fire doors in Swanley protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, schools and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Swanley building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Swanley 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
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
What the rules say for Swanley
In Swanley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Swanley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs fire door replacement in Swanley?
