Fire door replacement for Somerset buildings
For fire door replacement anywhere in Somerset, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and the rest of the county.
We never leave a Somerset opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If your Somerset building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Wherever your building is in Somerset, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Fire door law for Somerset properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Somerset are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Somerset block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
The steps on a Somerset installation
- Review the inspection report or survey each door
- Recommend repair or replacement with reasons
- Order replacements to size
- Remove the old door only when the new one is on site
- Install, test and record each opening
- Dispose of old doors and hand over evidence
What does fire door replacement cost in Somerset?
