Fire door replacement for Horsham buildings
From the RH12 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Horsham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Horsham has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, schools and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If a door in your Horsham building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Horsham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
The regulations behind fire doors in Horsham
Fire doors in Horsham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Horsham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Buildings and duty holders in Horsham
From offices to schools, the requirement for fire door replacement in Horsham comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
