Fire Door Replacement in Kirkby

From the L32 district outwards, we cover Kirkby and neighbouring towns such as Maghull and Litherland for fire door replacements.

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 Kirkby.

Kirkby FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kirkby?

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

What happens to the old doors?

They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.
