Fire door replacement: our service in Shirley
Our fire door replacement service in Shirley is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Shirley, care homes, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings 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.
We never leave a Shirley opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Shirley 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.
Each installation includes:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Which fire door rules apply in Shirley?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Shirley 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 Shirley 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 Shirley
Typical settings for fire door replacement include schools, blocks of flats and care homes. In Shirley, 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 Shirley
Is Shirley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Shirley in West Midlands and neighbouring towns such as Solihull. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
