Fire door replacement in Leatherhead: what's involved
From the KT22 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Leatherhead for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Leatherhead range from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages and small offices. 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 Leatherhead opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Leatherhead 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.
Each installation includes:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
