Fire door replacement: our service in Newcastle-under-Lyme
From the ST5 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Newcastle-under-Lyme for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Newcastle-under-Lyme range from converted period houses to offices and industrial units. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Newcastle-under-Lyme building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Newcastle-under-Lyme opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
What you get:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report

Common questions
Do you work in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding area, including Stoke-on-Trent and Longton. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
