Fire door replacement for Stoke-on-Trent buildings
Our fire door replacement service covers Stoke-on-Trent 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.
Around Stoke-on-Trent, care homes, converted flats and student accommodation 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 your Stoke-on-Trent building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Stoke-on-Trent opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Rules and responsibilities in Stoke-on-Trent
In Stoke-on-Trent, 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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.
