Fire door replacement in Tipton: what's involved
If you need fire door replacement in Tipton, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Tipton, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We never leave a Tipton opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Tipton building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
What you get:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset

Questions from Tipton
Is Tipton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Tipton in West Midlands and neighbouring towns such as Dudley. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Tipton building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
