Fire door replacement in Oxford: what's involved
Our fire door replacement service in Oxford is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Oxford protect escape routes in purpose-built flats, care homes and industrial units alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We never leave a Oxford opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Oxford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
Each installation includes:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Which fire door rules apply in Oxford?
In Oxford, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Oxford building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Which buildings in Oxford need fire door replacement?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Oxford can all commission fire door replacement from us. The usual settings are care homes and blocks of flats, though single doors for HMOs are just as welcome.
