Read the guideNot sure which you need?
If you are unsure whether your doors need remedial work or replacement, where a formal inspection is appropriate we can arrange a fire door survey through our specialist inspection partner. If you already have a fire door inspection report or fire risk assessment action list, send it to us and we will provide repair and replacement quotations. Many defects are repairable, depending on the existing doorset, and we only recommend replacement where a door or frame cannot reasonably be brought back to the required condition. You can also read our frequently asked questions or check the areas we cover.
