Getting fire door replacement right in Frome
Looking for fire door replacement in Frome? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Frome and the wider Somerset area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Frome, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If a door in your Frome building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Frome building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Frome
England's framework applies in Frome. 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 Frome, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover BA11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Frome including BA11, and nearby towns such as Trowbridge and Bath. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Frome?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
