What fire door replacement in West Sussex should include
Our fire door replacement service runs throughout West Sussex. Main towns include Crawley, Worthing and Bognor Regis, and we cover the smaller places in between.
If a door in your West Sussex building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. We never leave a West Sussex opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in West Sussex can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in West Sussex
In West Sussex, 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 West Sussex 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.
