Fire door replacement in Kidderminster

Getting fire door replacement right in Kidderminster

From the DY11 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door replacement across Kidderminster for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Around Kidderminster, family homes after loft conversions, schools and low-rise blocks of flats 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.

We never leave a Kidderminster opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Kidderminster building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.

Repair or replace?

Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.

What you get:

• Removal and disposal of the old door
• Evidence linked back to your inspection report
• Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
• Assessment of repair versus replacement
