Fire Door Replacement in Nelson

We provide fire door replacements for buildings in Nelson and the BB9 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Nelson.

Questions from Nelson clients

Do you cover the area around Nelson?

Yes. As well as Nelson itself we cover nearby towns including Colne, Burnley and Accrington.

How long does a replacement take?

Most single doorsets are replaced within a day, including making good. Doors are never left unable to close at the end of a working day.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Nelson?

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