Fire door replacement in Hinckley: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hinckley, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Hinckley, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to high-street shops. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Hinckley building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Hinckley 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
Fire door law for Hinckley properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hinckley 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 Hinckley 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.
Which buildings in Hinckley need fire door replacement?

Questions from Hinckley
Is Hinckley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hinckley in Leicestershire and neighbouring towns such as Nuneaton. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
