Fire door replacement in Godalming: what's involved

Looking for fire door replacement in Godalming? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Godalming and the wider Surrey area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Godalming, small blocks of flats, schools and light industrial buildings 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 Godalming building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Godalming 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
• Evidence linked back to your inspection report
• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Removal and disposal of the old door
