Fire door replacement in Norwich: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Norwich, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Norwich, offices, industrial units and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If your Norwich building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Norwich 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.
Each installation includes:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Norwich?
England's framework applies in Norwich. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Norwich, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Who needs fire door replacement in Norwich?
From schools to blocks of flats, the requirement for fire door replacement in Norwich 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.

Questions from Norwich
Do you cover NR1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Norwich including NR1, and nearby towns such as Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Norwich building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
