Getting fire door replacement right in Esher
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Esher, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Esher protect escape routes in care homes, HMOs and high-street shops alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If a door in your Esher building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Esher building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Esher
England's framework applies in Esher. 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 Esher, 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.

Questions from Esher
Is Esher within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Esher in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Walton-on-Thames. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Esher building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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 work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
