What fire door replacement in Great Malvern should include
When you book fire door replacement in Great Malvern, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Great Malvern, fire door work covers everything from schools to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If a door in your Great Malvern building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Great Malvern building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover WR14 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Great Malvern including WR14, and nearby towns such as Worcester and Tewkesbury. 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.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
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.
