Getting fire door replacement right in Northampton
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Northampton, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Northampton range from purpose-built blocks of flats to restaurants and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Northampton building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Northampton opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
What you get:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
What the rules say for Northampton
England's framework applies in Northampton. 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 Northampton, 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.
