Questions about fire door replacement in County Durham
Can you work around tenants or staff?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Which rules apply in County Durham?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
How do I know if my fire door needs replacing?
Large or uneven gaps, missing or painted-over seals, a closer that doesn't latch the door, damage to the leaf or frame, ordinary glass, or no label or plug showing certification are all warning signs.
