Fire door installation in Folkestone
Our fire door installation service covers Folkestone and the wider Kent area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Folkestone protect escape routes in high-street shops, houses with integral garages and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Rules and responsibilities in Folkestone
The rules that apply to fire doors in Folkestone are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Folkestone block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
