Getting fire door replacement right in Chorley
If you need fire door replacement in Chorley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Chorley protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, schools and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We never leave a Chorley opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Chorley 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
The regulations behind fire doors in Chorley
Fire doors in Chorley fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Chorley above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
