Getting fire door replacement right in Rugby
We provide fire door replacement in Rugby (CV21 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Rugby, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Rugby building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Rugby 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.
What you get:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Fire door law for Rugby properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Rugby 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 Rugby 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Rugby
From offices to blocks of flats, the requirement for fire door replacement in Rugby 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.
The steps on a Rugby installation
- Review the inspection report or survey each door
- Recommend repair or replacement with reasons
- Order replacements to size
- Remove the old door only when the new one is on site
- Install, test and record each opening
- Dispose of old doors and hand over evidence
Guide prices in Rugby
As a guide, budget £300–£600 for a leaf, £650–£2,400 for a doorset depending on type, ex VAT for fire door replacement. The figure for your Rugby building depends on the number of doors, the rating, the condition of the frames, finishes, hardware and access. We confirm a fixed price after the free survey.
Rugby and neighbouring towns
Neighbouring towns such as Daventry, Coventry, Bedworth and Royal Leamington Spa are covered too, so clients with several buildings can use one installer and one evidence format.
Common questions
Do you cover CV21 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Rugby including CV21, and nearby towns such as Daventry and Coventry. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
