Fire Door Replacement in Kent
Across Kent, from Saint Peters to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door replacements for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Door Replacement: Fire door replacement means removing a door that can no longer be repaired to its certified standard, or that was never a fire door, and installing a new fire-resisting doorset in its place.

Fire Door Replacement in Kent: questions
When should a fire door be replaced rather than repaired?
When the leaf or frame is too damaged to repair within what its test evidence allows, when there is no evidence it is a fire door, or when the repair would cost more than a new doorset.
What happens to the old doors?
They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kent?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Kent is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Kent?
Yes. As well as Kent itself we cover nearby towns including Saint Peters, Maidstone and Gillingham.
