Getting fire door replacement right in Sunbury-on-Thames
From the TW16 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Sunbury-on-Thames for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Sunbury-on-Thames, care homes, small blocks of flats and small offices 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 a door in your Sunbury-on-Thames building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Sunbury-on-Thames building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
