Fire door replacement in Burntwood: what's involved
Our fire door replacement service in Burntwood is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Burntwood, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We never leave a Burntwood opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Burntwood 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
