Getting fire door replacement right in Northamptonshire
We provide fire door replacement across Northamptonshire, covering 7 towns and 23 postcode districts, including Northampton, Corby and Kettering.
If a door in your Northamptonshire building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. We never leave a Northamptonshire opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
Northamptonshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Northamptonshire properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire 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.
