Fire Door Replacement in Preston

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Preston, 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 Preston.

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Preston, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Preston?

Preston is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential 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.
