Fire Door Replacement in Southport

We provide fire door replacements for buildings in Southport and the PR8 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 Southport.

Southport FAQs

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Southport?

Southport 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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Southport?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Southport can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
