Fire door replacement in Farnham: what's involved
Our fire door replacement service covers Farnham and the wider Surrey area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Farnham, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Farnham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Farnham opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Fire door law for Farnham properties
In Farnham, 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 Farnham 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 Farnham?
Typical settings for fire door replacement include schools, offices and HMOs. In Farnham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Do you cover GU9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Farnham including GU9, and nearby towns such as Aldershot and Fleet. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Farnham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
