Fire door replacement in Aston: what's involved
Looking for fire door replacement in Aston? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Aston and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Aston has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Aston opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Aston building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
What you get:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
What the rules say for Aston
The rules that apply to fire doors in Aston 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 Aston 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.

Common questions
Do you cover B6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Aston including B6, and nearby towns such as Birmingham and Washwood Heath. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Aston building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
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.
