Fire door replacement in Stafford, done to the evidence
Our fire door replacement service covers Stafford and the wider Staffordshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Stafford has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, high-street shops and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Stafford opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Stafford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
What the rules say for Stafford
Fire doors in Stafford fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Stafford above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Which buildings in Stafford need fire door replacement?
From schools to blocks of flats, the requirement for fire door replacement in Stafford comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Stafford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stafford in Staffordshire and neighbouring towns such as Rugeley. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Stafford?
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.
