Getting certified fire doorsets right in Crowthorne
We provide certified fire doorsets in Crowthorne (RG45 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Crowthorne range from family homes after loft conversions to schools and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Crowthorne, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Crowthorne is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
Why choose a doorset over a door leaf?
A fire door's rating belongs to the assembly that was tested, not to the leaf on its own. When a certified leaf is hung in an old frame with mismatched hinges and seals, nobody can say with confidence how it will perform. A doorset arrives with the frame, gaps and ironmongery already matched, so the installer's job is to fix it correctly into the opening and seal it to the structure.
Doorsets also cut time on site, which matters in occupied buildings: less cutting, less dust and fewer return visits.
What you get:
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
Fire door law for Crowthorne properties
England's framework applies in Crowthorne. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Crowthorne, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Crowthorne need certified fire doorsets?
The need for certified fire doorsets usually arises in blocks of flats or refurbishment programmes, and sometimes new-build and conversion projects. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Crowthorne to keep escape routes protected throughout.

It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do doorsets come painted?
They can be supplied primed, factory painted, veneered, laminated or with a composite skin, depending on the product. Factory finishes avoid painting over seals and labels on site.

Lead times depend on the manufacturer, size, finish and ironmongery. Standard sizes can be quick; bespoke sizes and finishes take longer. We give you the lead time with the quote and confirm it at order.
