Getting fire door replacement right in Tonbridge
From the TN9 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Tonbridge for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Tonbridge range from schools 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 Tonbridge building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Tonbridge building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
Rules and responsibilities in Tonbridge
The rules that apply to fire doors in Tonbridge 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 Tonbridge 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.
