Getting fire door replacement right in Nottingham
If you need fire door replacement in Nottingham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Nottingham range from purpose-built blocks of flats to student accommodation and converted flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Nottingham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Nottingham 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Nottingham?
Fire doors in Nottingham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Nottingham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions from Nottingham
Is Nottingham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Nottingham in Nottinghamshire and neighbouring towns such as West Bridgford. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Nottingham?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
