Fire door replacement in St Albans: how we work
Fire Rated Doors supplies and fits fire door replacement in St Albans, Hertfordshire. Whether it's a single replacement or every door in a block, we start by surveying the openings and end with a handover pack listing each doorset and its certificate reference.
Where possible we combine St Albans surveys with other visits in Hertfordshire, such as Harpenden and Hatfield, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

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.

Common questions in Hertfordshire
Can you fit just one door in St Albans?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Hertfordshire.
Which rules do fire door replacement in St Albans need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you work around tenants or staff in St Albans?
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.
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.
