Fire door replacement: our service in Melton Mowbray
From the LE13 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Melton Mowbray for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Melton Mowbray range from houses with integral garages to light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Melton Mowbray building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Melton Mowbray 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:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
