For offices, shops and warehouses
Our commercial fire door replacement in London swaps failed workplace doors like for like. Each new door matches the rating, hardware and look of the doors around it, and is fitted out of hours so the business keeps running.
Replacing doors at work
Most workplaces do not need every door changed. An inspection usually finds a handful that are beyond repair, while the rest just need servicing.
Commercial fire door replacement targets just those doors. We match the new ones to the doors around them, so the floor still looks finished.
Office doors often carry card readers, mag-locks, kick plates and vision panels. Each part must suit the new door’s test evidence.
We check what can be moved across and what must be renewed, then agree the spec with you before ordering.
Have homes or shared houses with worn-out doors too? Our fire door replacement in London swaps doors in those buildings as well.
If a whole floor needs new doors, commercial fire door installation may be the better fit.
What we match
A replacement should look and work like the doors around it. These are the points we match on every job.
FD30 or FD60, matched to the fire strategy. A stair core door must never be swapped for a lower rating.
Same type and power as the doors either side.
Readers and mag-locks re-fitted and linked to the alarm. Each one is tested before we leave.
Fire-rated glass in the same size and position.
Paint, laminate or veneer matched as closely as possible, so the new door does not stand out.
Frame checked and the gap behind it sealed.
How it works
We plan around your business and your other contractors.
Send the inspection or survey that failed the doors.
We measure and agree hardware and finish for each door.
Old doors out and new ones in, with routes kept open.
Every door tested, access control linked and records sent.
Other buildings
We swap failed doors in these buildings too.
Phased work
Large door lists are easier to manage and fund in phases. The worst doors go first, and the rest follow on a set plan.
Signs of a failed door
These are the reasons commercial doors most often fail beyond repair.
Edges and faces smashed by deliveries. Once the core is exposed, the door cannot be trusted.
Unlabelled doors left from old fit-outs.
Large holes cut for old locks and readers that no longer line up. Too much of the core has gone.
Vision panels with ordinary glass.
Doors shrunk, warped or cut down so far that new lipping will not close the gap.
FD30 doors fitted where FD60 is needed.

Doors are priced per doorset, supplied and fitted. Access control and finish make the biggest difference.

What facilities managers and landlords ask about replacing doors.
A supplied and fitted FD30 doorset usually costs £550–£950, before VAT. FD60 doors cost around £800–£1,300. Access control, glass and special finishes add to this. If the frame is sound, a matched leaf can cost less. Removing and disposing of the old door is always included in the price.
It means the new door has the same fire rating, size and hardware as the old one, and looks as close as possible. It should fit in with the doors around it and work with the same access control and closers.
Often, yes. If the readers and locks are in good order and suit the new door’s test evidence, we move them across. Your security contractor then re-links them, and we test each one with the alarm. Reusing hardware saves money and keeps the door working the way your staff are used to.
Yes. Most commercial replacements are done at night or at weekends. Escape routes are kept open throughout, and every door is working before staff return. We agree times and access with building security in advance, and leave each area clean. Staff should notice nothing except a new door.
No. Usually only the doors that have failed need replacing. The rest may just need repairs or servicing. A survey can tell you which is which, so you do not spend money on doors that are fine. Replacing only the failed doors keeps costs down while still fixing the risk.
The same as the door it replaces, or higher if the fire strategy now calls for it. Stair core and plant room doors are often FD60. Office and corridor doors are usually FD30. Your fire risk assessment sets the rating.
We match paint and laminate closely. Wood veneers can vary, as natural wood is never identical, but we choose the nearest match. Hardware such as handles and kick plates can usually be matched exactly. We can show you finish samples before ordering, so there are no surprises on the day.
Each door takes around half a day to a day to fit. Standard doors are often available in one to two weeks. Made-to-measure or special finishes may take longer. We can usually swap several doors in one night shift, so a small batch is done with no disruption.
Yes. You get the door’s rating and maker, photos, fitting notes and hardware details. These go into your O&M files or fire safety records. Having full records makes future inspections quicker, as the inspector can see what each door is straight away.
Usually the landlord looks after doors in shared areas, and each tenant looks after doors inside their space. Check your lease. We can quote each party separately if needed. If the lease is unclear, agree who is responsible before work starts, so the invoice goes to the right person.
