What fire door replacement in Stourbridge should include
Looking for fire door replacement in Stourbridge? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Stourbridge and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Stourbridge range from low-rise blocks of flats to schools and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We never leave a Stourbridge opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Stourbridge 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Fire door law for Stourbridge properties
In Stourbridge, 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 Stourbridge 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Stourbridge
Typical settings for fire door replacement include blocks of flats, offices and care homes. In Stourbridge, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover DY8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stourbridge including DY8, and nearby towns such as Brierley Hill and Kingswinford. 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.
