Fire door replacement: our service in Dewsbury
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Dewsbury, we offer fire door replacement with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Dewsbury protect escape routes in HMOs, family homes after loft conversions and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Dewsbury building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Dewsbury opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
Fire door law for Dewsbury properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Dewsbury 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 Dewsbury 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.

Questions
Do you cover WF12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Dewsbury including WF12, and nearby towns such as Batley and Ossett. 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.
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.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
