Fire Door Replacement in West Sussex: questions
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.
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.

West Sussex 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.
