Fire door replacement in Felling, done to the evidence
When you book fire door replacement in Felling, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Felling protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, small offices and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Felling building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Felling building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
What you get:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
Fire door law for Felling properties
England's framework applies in Felling. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Felling, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Who needs fire door replacement in Felling?
From offices to care homes, the requirement for fire door replacement in Felling comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
