What fire door replacement in East Grinstead should include
Our fire door replacement service covers East Grinstead and the wider West Sussex area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in East Grinstead protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, care homes and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If a door in your East Grinstead building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your East Grinstead building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
