Fire door replacement in Brighouse

Getting fire door replacement right in Brighouse

We provide fire door replacement in Brighouse (HD6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Buildings in and around Brighouse range from houses with integral garages to schools and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

If your Brighouse building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Brighouse 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:

• Removal and disposal of the old door
• Certified leaf or full doorset
• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Frame repair or replacement where needed

Rules and responsibilities in Brighouse

England's framework applies in Brighouse. 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 Brighouse, 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.
