Fire door replacement in Wigston, done to the evidence
Looking for fire door replacement in Wigston? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wigston and the wider Leicestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Wigston has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, care homes and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If a door in your Wigston building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Wigston building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
The regulations behind fire doors in Wigston
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wigston 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 Wigston 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.
