Fire Door Replacement in Sevenoaks

Sevenoaks landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door replacements with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Sevenoaks.

Fire Door Replacement in Sevenoaks: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sevenoaks?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Sevenoaks 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.

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Sevenoaks?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
