What fire door replacement in Coventry should include
We provide fire door replacement in Coventry (CV1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Coventry, student accommodation, hotels and schools 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 your Coventry building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Coventry 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Coventry
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coventry 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 Coventry 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.
Where fire door replacement fit in Coventry
Typical settings for fire door replacement include care homes, HMOs and blocks of flats. In Coventry, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Coventry
Do you cover CV1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Coventry including CV1, and nearby towns such as Kenilworth and Bedworth. 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.
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.
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.
