Fire door replacement: our service in Boston
Our fire door replacement service covers Boston and the wider Lincolnshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Boston protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Boston building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Boston opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Fire door law for Boston properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Boston 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 Boston 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.
Where fire door replacement fit in Boston
From offices to care homes, the requirement for fire door replacement in Boston comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
