Fire door replacement in Merseyside: what's involved
Our fire door replacement service runs throughout Merseyside. Main towns include Liverpool, Birkenhead and St Helens, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We never leave a Merseyside opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Merseyside building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Merseyside can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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 the rules say for Merseyside
The rules that apply to fire doors in Merseyside 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 Merseyside 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.
The steps on a Merseyside installation
- Review the inspection report or survey each door
- Recommend repair or replacement with reasons
- Order replacements to size
- Remove the old door only when the new one is on site
- Install, test and record each opening
- Dispose of old doors and hand over evidence
What does fire door replacement cost in Merseyside?
If you need a budget figure first, the guide for fire door replacement is £300–£600 for a leaf, £650–£2,400 for a doorset depending on type, ex VAT. We firm that up after a survey, pricing each door separately so you can see where the money goes.
