Fire door replacement: our service in Trowbridge
Our fire door replacement service in Trowbridge is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Trowbridge, schools, care homes and light industrial buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If your Trowbridge building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Trowbridge 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification

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.

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.
