Fire door replacement: our service in Bath
Our fire door replacement service in Bath is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Bath protect escape routes in HMOs, industrial units and GP surgeries alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Bath building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Bath opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Rules and responsibilities in Bath
In Bath, 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 Bath 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.

As a guide, budget £300–£600 for a leaf, £650–£2,400 for a doorset depending on type, ex VAT for fire door replacement.

Questions
Do you cover BA1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bath including BA1, and nearby towns such as Trowbridge and Kingswood. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
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.
