Fire door replacement: our service in Chippenham
When you book fire door replacement in Chippenham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Chippenham range from houses with integral garages to care homes and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Chippenham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Chippenham 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:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed

Fire doors in Chippenham 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.

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.

Questions
Is Chippenham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Chippenham in Wiltshire and neighbouring towns such as Trowbridge. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Chippenham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
