Fire door replacement for Guildford buildings
If you need fire door replacement in Guildford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Guildford has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, industrial estates and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Guildford building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Guildford 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Guildford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Guildford are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Guildford block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Where fire door replacement fit in Guildford
