Fire door replacement: our service in Ewell
We provide fire door replacement in Ewell (KT17 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Ewell range from family homes after loft conversions to small offices and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We never leave a Ewell opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Ewell building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Fire door law for Ewell properties
In Ewell, 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 Ewell 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.
Who needs fire door replacement in Ewell?
