Fire door replacement: our service in Telford
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Telford, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Telford, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built flats to industrial units. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Telford building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Telford 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.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
What the rules say for Telford
England's framework applies in Telford. 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 Telford, 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.
Who needs fire door replacement in Telford?

In Telford, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Is Telford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Telford in Shropshire and neighbouring towns such as Wellington. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Telford?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
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.
