Commercial fire doors: our service in Thamesmead
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Thamesmead, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Thamesmead, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Thamesmead can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Thamesmead gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
What you get:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
