Getting fire door replacement right in Bognor Regis
We provide fire door replacement in Bognor Regis (PO21 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Bognor Regis protect escape routes in high-street shops, schools and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Bognor Regis building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Bognor Regis opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
The regulations behind fire doors in Bognor Regis
England's framework applies in Bognor Regis. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Bognor Regis, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover PO21 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bognor Regis including PO21, and nearby towns such as Chichester and Littlehampton. 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.
