What fire door replacement in Worthing should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Worthing, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Worthing has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, care homes and GP surgeries, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Worthing opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Worthing 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
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Which fire door rules apply in Worthing?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Worthing are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Worthing block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Which buildings in Worthing need fire door replacement?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Worthing can all commission fire door replacement from us. The usual settings are offices and HMOs, though single doors for blocks of flats are just as welcome.

Common questions
Do you cover BN11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Worthing including BN11, and nearby towns such as Portslade 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.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
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.
