Fire door replacement: our service in Castleford
Our fire door replacement service covers Castleford and the wider West Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Castleford, fire door work covers everything from schools to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We never leave a Castleford opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Castleford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Fire door law for Castleford properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Castleford 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 Castleford 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 Castleford need fire door replacement?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Castleford can all commission fire door replacement from us. The usual settings are care homes and offices, though single doors for blocks of flats are just as welcome.
