Fire door replacement in Market Harborough: what's involved
If you need fire door replacement in Market Harborough, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Market Harborough protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If a door in your Market Harborough building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Market Harborough building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
