Fire door replacement: our service in Birmingham
Our fire door replacement service in Birmingham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Birmingham protect escape routes in care homes, converted flats and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Birmingham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Birmingham opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Fire door law for Birmingham properties
Fire doors in Birmingham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Birmingham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Which buildings in Birmingham need fire door replacement?
