Fire door replacement for Horley buildings
If you need fire door replacement in Horley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Horley protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Horley building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Horley opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
What the rules say for Horley
In Horley, 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 Horley 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.

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 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.
