Fire door replacement in Clevedon, done to the evidence
From the BS21 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Clevedon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Clevedon, light industrial buildings, care homes and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If a door in your Clevedon building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Clevedon building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Clevedon
In Clevedon, 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 Clevedon 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.

Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
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.
