Getting fire door replacement right in Worcester
If you need fire door replacement in Worcester, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Worcester, schools, GP surgeries and HMOs 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 Worcester building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Worcester opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Which fire door rules apply in Worcester?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Worcester 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 Worcester 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.

Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
