Fire Door Replacement in Herne Bay

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Herne Bay, our fire door replacements follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Herne Bay.

Questions from Herne Bay clients

Do you cover the area around Herne Bay?

Yes. As well as Herne Bay itself we cover nearby towns including Whitstable, Canterbury and Faversham.

Can residents stay in while flat doors are replaced?

Yes. Flat entrance doors are usually replaced in a single visit and the flat is never left without a lockable door.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Herne Bay?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Herne Bay is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.
