Fire door replacement in Caterham: what's involved
If you need fire door replacement in Caterham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Caterham, care homes, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages 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 Caterham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Caterham 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Caterham
England's framework applies in Caterham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Caterham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
