Fire door replacement for Surrey buildings
Our fire door replacement service runs throughout Surrey. Main towns include Woking, Guildford and Esher, and we cover the smaller places in between.
If your Surrey building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Surrey building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Wherever your building is in Surrey, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Surrey?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Surrey are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Surrey block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Budgeting for fire door replacement in Surrey
As a guide, budget £300–£600 for a leaf, £650–£2,400 for a doorset depending on type, ex VAT for fire door replacement. The figure for your Surrey building depends on the number of doors, the rating, the condition of the frames, finishes, hardware and access. We confirm a fixed price after the free survey.
