Getting communal fire doors fitted in Loughborough
Getting communal fire doors right in Loughborough means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Whether your building is in central Loughborough or on its edges towards Coalville, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Regulations for communal fire doors in Leicestershire

Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.

Questions about communal fire doors in Loughborough
Can you fit just one door in Loughborough?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Leicestershire.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Loughborough.
Is the survey in Loughborough free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Do you replace doors while the building is occupied?
Yes. We phase work so escape routes are maintained, and plan each door to be removed and replaced the same day. If that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
