What fire door replacement in Wellington should include
Our fire door replacement service covers Wellington and the wider Shropshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Wellington has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Wellington opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Wellington building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
What the rules say for Wellington
Fire doors in Wellington 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 Wellington 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.
Who needs fire door replacement in Wellington?
From offices to HMOs, the requirement for fire door replacement in Wellington comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

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.

Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
