Fire door replacement: our service in Shrewsbury
We provide fire door replacement in Shrewsbury (SY1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Shrewsbury has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Shrewsbury building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Shrewsbury 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Rules and responsibilities in Shrewsbury
England's framework applies in Shrewsbury. 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 Shrewsbury, 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.
