In and around Faversham, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We only fit composite doors in Faversham in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Faversham they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
How we fit composite doorsets
Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.
What you get:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
