Fire door replacement for Smethwick buildings
We provide fire door replacement in Smethwick (B66 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Smethwick has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, low-rise blocks of flats and HMOs, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Smethwick building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Smethwick opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Rules and responsibilities in Smethwick
In Smethwick, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Smethwick building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Do you work in Smethwick?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Smethwick and the surrounding area, including West Bromwich and Birmingham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Smethwick?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
